Sample, thanks fonefan! Black, small head. Żubrówka-like almondy, cinnamony grainy licorice aroma. Quite sweet with near full body and rounded mouthfeel. Heavily roasted granola, lots of peppery, spicy Żubrówka. Toffee, coffee and licorice. Warming, mid bitter finish. Interesting and well made.

33cl bottle. Vaasa May tasting.
Poured pitch black in color.
Aromatic indeed, light herbal. Granola like with roasted malty flavors. Full bodied, heavy, has some heat.

330ml, bottle.
Close to no head, I could only see one layer of bubbles forming, then they formed a little island in the middle, and rapidly popped and vanished into the shadow realm :( Seeing all the glass shots with thin head make me jealous..
Black color, low carbonation. Balanced flavor, I enjoyed it despite not being a huge fan of this style of beer.

33cl bottle pours with a deep dark chocolate colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a bit of plum and fig fruity esters flowing into chocolate, caramel and a sense of booze. The taste delivers similar notes with sweet sugar stewed plums and figs as well as growing chocolate maltiness and booziness. Another sip reveals thin wafers of dark roastiness and nuttiness. Solid offering.

Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a thin cap of an off-white foamy head which quickly dissipated to barely leave any lace
Aroma: rich dark malts, chocolate malts, coffee beans, subtle vanilla, some earthy character further underneath
Flavor: semi-sweet coffee beans running through some chocolate malts, some roastiness lean aftertaste of chocolate, coffee and vanilla
Texture: medium bodied, runs smooth and semi-creamy along my tongue, clean roasty finish
Overall: a very nicely done Imperial Baltic porter, I'd definitely have again.
