Bottle, courtesy of nimbleprop – thanks! Really excited to try this; it’s been quite a while since I’ve had a new Baltic Porter. Pours deep brown with a huge tan head. Lots of roast in the aroma with a lighter mocha presence. Good roast flavors, cocoa, and mocha. Just a little licorice and lightly earthy. Finishes well. Doesn’t strike me as traditional to the style, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours near black with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a light chocolate note with a bit of dark grains and a touch of dark fruits. Flavor has some sweet dark grains with a hint of chocolate and a strong light fruit backbone that is a bit out of place.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 10/26/2012. Pours fairly pitch black color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malt, raisin, cocoa, toast, dark bread, light coffee, clove, and floral earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity; a bit muted though. Taste of chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, raisin, cocoa, toast, dark bread, light coffee, clove, and floral earthiness. No bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, toast, raisin, dark bread, light coffee, clove, and floral earthiness on the finish for a bit. Very nice balance and robustness of flavors, with good complexity; great balance of malt and yeast esters; and zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and lightly slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good baltic porter style. Very nice balance, robustness, and complexity of flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

Pours deep brown with a tan, creamy head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malts, earthy hops. Thin body. Flavor starts out a bit smoky, chocolate, dark and sweet fruit, light roasted malts. A decent beer but needs more oomph.

At the Dominion Taproom at Dulles airport 9/12/2012. Dark brown with a hint of red and moderate off-white head. Sweet, brown sugar, chocolate and liquorice aroma. Full flavoured, with some chunky chocolate, caramel, and dryish roasty finish. Enjoyable.
