Bottle, courtesy of the FNY guys, thanks! Mahagony pour with an off-white head. Nose is caramel, nuts, light dried fruits, a cocoa hint. Taste is vague chocolate, caramel, dried fruits, bready notes, some cocoa again. Slightly on the sweeter side. Light to medium bodied with an average carbonation. Some baltic porters nowadays are closer to a stout but this one has very pronounced lager characteristics, especially body-wise, so plus points for that!

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of roasted malt, dust, chocolate and coffee. Pours almost black color with thin soapy light brown head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet roasted malt, nuts and coffee, following is woody, grassy and earthy, mouthfeel is warm and mild spicy, while finish is moderate bitter. Medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Phantom of the opera…

Bottle, Goblet, thx Vran! Very dark brown body, off-white head. Dark malt-driven, pungent aroma, light chocolate and vanilla notes. Sweet dark malt-dominant taste, light vanilla, creamy, some raisins, wine-like touches. Very nice rendition of the style.
