Slight bitter dark chocolate taste with a malty backbone. Smooth but with a present bitterness.

24/5/2026. Can at the ITFC beer share. From Beer52. Good pour. Malty, chocolate, caramel. Quite boozy taste and a bit clammy. A little thin for its abv. Not bad.

Brown, hazy, with a decent, long-lasting beige head. The aroma is mildly roasted, nutty, toffee, dark malts, and cola. Medium body, finely carbonated, semi-dry, and creamy. Delicate flavour, powdered cocoa, dried fruit peel, toffee, moderate roastiness, sweet notes of cola. Drunk, rather pleasant but it's a Baltic porter only in name, not in style!

330ml can from Beer52 - deep ruby body with a short lived tan head. Dark chocolate dominates, little roastiness to proceedings, just a bit thin on the mouthfeel.

330ml can via Beer52, drank at my brothers in Devon on 30th April 2025. Billowing beige head on a coke brown body. Chocolate notes in the malt laden brew, bit thin for a Baltic Porter, but pleasant enough.

Black pour with nice foamy beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, malted milk biscuits, coffee, blackcurrant. Taste has a dark bitter chocolate, biscuit, Weetabix, liquorice, roast, a bit spicy. A touch thin and gassy for a dark 6% beer. Quite nice flavours though.

Can at and thanks to James, 13/04/24. Light black with a decent lasting beige head. Nose is mellow roast, nutty, toffee, dark malts. Taste comprises cocoa powder, dried fruit rinds, toffee, charr, modest roast, sweet edged. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so contract garbage ... why bother ... you're only getting a Baltic Porter in name here ... not in flavour!

Can from Beer52. It pours darkest brown to black with a decent beige head. The aroma is earthy roasted wood, cacao nibs, coffee grounds, umami, liquorice, molasses and a puff of smoke. The taste is dry, dark roasted malt, dull smoke, toasty, charred wood, bitter - sweet dark chocolate, cacao nibs, liquorice allsorts, molasses, coffee grounds BD toasted nut with a drying, roasted finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Decent Baltic porter. Drinks well.

[33cl can from Beer52 - another invented brewery.] A cola coloured pour with a thin beige head; aroma of roasted grains with a touch of coffee; rather sweet in the mouth with a fruity taste and a light grainy bitterness; then a very sweet finish and a little warmth in the stomach.
