Draft@dba. Twas’ a porter, was it not? Some coffee chox and all that. I didn’t think it was that great but who am I to argue with the godofconsensus?

6er from the lcbo. Ery dark pour, small beige head, just the slightest light gets through. Light roasty malt, some coffee, and some nice smoke notes, with touches of peat. Sily mouth feel, very soft carb. Quite bitter, super roasty, loads of smoke, and some coffee to round it out, with subtle lactic notes. A very nice porter.

From Dec 2006

Poured from 12oz bottle(conditioned) a dark brown with a very large head of tannish foam. That eventually winds down to a solid layer and lots of lacing hugging the glass.

The smell is really nice. There's sweet malt and a fruitiness that I can't quite put my finger on but it goes well with the malt, for sure.

The taste on first sip...there's that fruitiness! Sour cherries, my palate yells out, and sweet and roasted malt. Dang. Further sips verify the fact that the flavours are working very well together and then there's a touch of bitterness along with a dash of alcohol in the finish. It's *quite* warming and pleasant. Good stuff!

PS: I haven't had that many Baltic Porters but this is quite a tasty example. I recommend it!

Thanks to Nutbrown for this sample!

Bottle from the LCBO. Dark cola colour with just a small tan sheet of head that is quickly gone. Nose is smoke, espresso, toffee and chocolate with some plum and cherry. Bitter chocolate and and coffee throughout with only a light sweet caramel backing. Some tartness in the middle through the finish and a smokiness present throughout. Medium full slick mouth with average carbonation and a dry finish. Lots of nice layers.
