Bottle. Deep, dark brown, almost black in color. Not much head. Aroma was a pleasant roasted grain, nutty smell. Taste was malty sweet upfront, nuts and roasted grains in the middle with a thick finish.

$2.95 Pint can, WW. Simply as Baltic Porter, and the abv listed as 8.2%. Pours dark brown with a soft tan head. Nose is leather, cocoa, light smoke. Roasted malt, leather, coffee, chocolate, earthy... oh this is nice.

Bottle. A- Leather, tree bark, dusty, cocoa. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, beige head. T- Watered down coffee, roasty, char, mild bitterness, cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, dry finish. O- Pretty dry. Not a ton of dark fruit but some. Lots of dry earthy coffee notes. Okay, but perhaps a bit different that my expectations.

Rough around the edges, aggressive and overly charred for a Baltic porter, with a bitter streak on the finish that comes across more burnt toast than roasted malt. Chocolate, molasses, cherry, and cola notes are nice, but the middle edges a little sweet, and the bitter, almost salty finish doesn't make for an inviting fade. Medium body and thin texture don't help. Skippable.

16 ounce can into snifter, canned on 1/10/2019. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crusts; with lighter notes of toffee, smoke, charcoal, anise, dark fruits, leather, tobacco, pepper, pine, and herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crusts; with lighter notes of toffee, smoke, charcoal, anise, dark fruits, leather, tobacco, pepper, pine, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, grassy, peppery hop; and roast/charcoal bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark/brown bread/crusts, toffee, smoke, charcoal, anise, dark fruits, leather, tobacco, pepper, pine, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great hop/char bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors, not overly fruity/yeasty. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.5%. Overall this is a very nice Baltic Porter. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/charred/drying finish. Very clean, rich, and well rounded malt complexity, balancing earthy hops, and mild fruity yeast character. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Takeaway bottle from Brewdog Tower Hill. Sweet aroma - berries and coffee. Dark and glossy. Fluffy light beige head. Medium bitter with a sugary burnt caramel vein. Dark chocolate. Liquorice. Some roast. Light-medium bodied. Thin cream. Sticky. Average carbonation. Relatively abrupt finish. Pleasant if restrained. But certainly drinkable.

Bottle bought at BrewDog Tower Hill. Shared with Finn. Pours a frothy beige head with crocheted lacing down the glass. Black in the glass. Roasted dark malty nose, hints of anise. Rather rich taste profile of chocolate and anise joined by a coffee touch towards a roasted ending. Smooth in the mouth. Well bodied and well made. (Hotel room, Dalston, London 29.09.2018).
