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.

Dark brown body, with a small head.
Aroma of cocoa, dark chocolate, spices, vanilla, coconut. Tastes similar.
Quite creamy mouthfeel, with a low carbonation. Finishes medium sweet, moderate roasty, spicy.

Really well balanced, more on the sweet side, but never overwhelming, with enough roasty notes. Really quaffable for the ABV.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma has molasses, toasted malt, lots of vanilla, and some cocoa. Flavour has plenty of vanilla, light cinnamon, cocoa, and toasted malt. Not really getting the bison grass. Really nicely constructed. Excellent.
