pours brown with a large beige to light brown head. looks a bit like a Vienna.
aroma is nutty, chestnuts, roasted malts (not like a stout, more like a vienna) faint slightly sweet note like somewhere betweeen sweet nuts and flowers. very faint smoked malty note. If i had blindtested this, i would've guessed vienna.
flavor is sweet nutty, bitter nutty, toasted malty - but not overly sweet, also tastes like a vienna, only it's quite flavorful.

16oz can from the brewery. Drinks pretty light on the palate for a Baltic Porter...closer to a strong Tmave. Awesome malt tone, reminiscent of a good UK Porter too. World Porter? Either way this is a really enjoyable beer. Delicious and well executed.

(thanks fonefan!). Very deep copper colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, some chocolaty, toasted and mild earthy tones. Flavour is floral, some roasted and mild biscuity tones with some mild earthy elements. A bit too hoppy, and not really any body to go with it. Still a clean lager.

Can, from Jewel-Osco, Chicago. Pours clear dark brown with red highlights, large spongy dark beige head, dark roasted malt aroma, high carbonation, bitter dark roasted/burnt malt taste, faint caramel, thin body, long bitter finish. Great brew.
