5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5

Pour is dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma is deffinatly butterscotch with a bit of roast. Flavor is weak over all. I get some carmel and burnt molasses in there but nothing really stands out. Middle of the road and nothing to go out and look for. Pretty cheap at $1.99 for 500ml bottle but i guess that should tell you something.

Dark amber color. Sweeter than a regular dunkel, more alcohol sensation, but not as malted as a Baltic Porter…

A red-brown beer wit a disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries, while the flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol and chocolate on a dry background.

Aroma of malt. Large head. Looks and smells like a bock. Flavor is complex. Raisins, sugar, malt, dried fruit, and salt. Medium body, very well balanced. Alcohol is hidden very well.

Bottled (BB 11/2004) "Porteris"
Dark ruby with mostly diminishing tanned head. Sweet and fruity aroma. Taste is a bit like in Belgian strong ales: sweet, alcoholic, prunes-plums, raisins. Short alcoholic finish. (7/4/7/3/14 3.5)
Re-rated, bottled (BB 06/2007)
Ruby red, nice tan head. Molasses, burnt sugar in the nose. Sweetish with burnt sugar, slightly alcoholic in the finish. Typical - let’s say - upscale Baltic strong dark lager. Sticky palate. (7/4/7/3/14 3.5)

Rust tinted dark brown in colour with a normal sized tan head. Sweet aroma of pineapple, roasted malt, raisins and a hint of caramel. A very nice fruity aroma for a Baltic Porter. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavour mixed with some sweet tastes and an alcoholic kick. Aftertaste definately bittered from the roasted malt, but livened by the sweeter nuances. Overall, the beer is pretty good, I prefered my Polish Baltic Porters (Zywiec and Okocim) to this one, but its definately not a bad beer! I bought this 500 mL bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Somewhere between Burgundy-red and chestnut. Thick white -cream head. Nose with roasted malt, aroma not unlike puffed chestnut, maize, caramelized. Taste is characterized by excellent balance between bitter and sweet malts. Maize again!! Maize gives some cloyingness. Well-bodied. Nice porter. Maybe not yet a classic, but a very good try all the same. Just a tad too sweet for me, unfortunately.

Rich caramel chocolate aroma. Dark red-brown med fizzy fading head. Rich warming toasty toffeeish chocolate flavor. Med-full body. Lively carbonation. Balanced bittersweet finish. Very bocky, moreso than other Baltics I''ve had.
