Growler courtesy of a traveling colleague. The beer pours a dark brown-amber color with a medium thin light beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Roasted malt, yeast and touches of fruit in the nose. Medium, dry body with flavors of dark fruit, yeast and malt. Bits of dark chocolate as well. The finish is roasty and yeasty with a mild chocolate coffee aftertaste. Interesting (more traditional?) take on the style, and it’s nice that they didn’t just slap the word "Baltic" where "Imperial" would have been more appropriate.
