500 ml bottle, brought to a tasting by someone who had bought it in Riga. ABV was 6%. At first I thought that he was pulling my leg, and that the content of the bottle really was a "radler" (cola beermix). Apparently it was the real thing. Reddish brown colour, low head. Minimal aroma, hints of cola. Flavour of RC Cola and cinnamon - weird. Not my idea of a Baltic porter.

Bottled@omhper. Dark ruby red colour, not much head. Aroma is caramel, sweetness, fudge and some mild fruity notes. Flavour is caramel, sugar, malts and quite much earthy notes. Artificial sweetness.

Bottled from Riga Airport. Almost black, small head. Aroma of cherry and vanilla. Sweet and medium bodied. Fruitywith cherry/chocolate flavour. The mouthfeel is industrial and lagerlike, and while the flavour is a bit artificial it retains some balance and drinkability.

500ml Bottle - Dark brown in colour with red tinges. Spicy and lightly fruity aroma with cinnamon and cloves. Spicy taste which is fairly rich. Cinnamon and cloves feature again along with nutmeg, followed by a sweet, fruity and spicy finish.
