Sampled draught somewhere in Kaunas.
Pale golden with small creamy head. Fruity, lightöy grassy aroma. Sweet and medium bodied with clean, hard mouthfeel. Short finish with no bitterness. Quite empty. A typical BBH beer...

Can (BB 09/2004)
Lager color, small creamy head. Metallic malt aroma. Carbonated malty mouthfeel. Slightly sweet. Not much aftertaste, just a bit oily. Drinkable among Lithuanian lagers but it doesn’t mean much.

Pale lager color, small white head. Metallic aroma similar to Finnish Koff III/IV. Bitter lightly alcoholic flavor in the start, turning sweetish side. Carbonated mouthfeel and some distant feeling of hops in the finish.

Bottled (BB 11/2004) "Porteris"
Dark ruby with mostly diminishing tanned head. Sweet and fruity aroma. Taste is a bit like in Belgian strong ales: sweet, alcoholic, prunes-plums, raisins. Short alcoholic finish. (7/4/7/3/14 3.5)
Re-rated, bottled (BB 06/2007)
Ruby red, nice tan head. Molasses, burnt sugar in the nose. Sweetish with burnt sugar, slightly alcoholic in the finish. Typical - let’s say - upscale Baltic strong dark lager. Sticky palate. (7/4/7/3/14 3.5)

Lager color. Small white foamy head. Slightly sweet and metallic aroma. Sweet malty, hides ABV in palate quite well. Some alcoholic bitterness in finish.

Rust tinted dark brown in colour with a normal sized tan head. Sweet aroma of pineapple, roasted malt, raisins and a hint of caramel. A very nice fruity aroma for a Baltic Porter. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavour mixed with some sweet tastes and an alcoholic kick. Aftertaste definately bittered from the roasted malt, but livened by the sweeter nuances. Overall, the beer is pretty good, I prefered my Polish Baltic Porters (Zywiec and Okocim) to this one, but its definately not a bad beer! I bought this 500 mL bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Somewhere between Burgundy-red and chestnut. Thick white -cream head. Nose with roasted malt, aroma not unlike puffed chestnut, maize, caramelized. Taste is characterized by excellent balance between bitter and sweet malts. Maize again!! Maize gives some cloyingness. Well-bodied. Nice porter. Maybe not yet a classic, but a very good try all the same. Just a tad too sweet for me, unfortunately.

Rich caramel chocolate aroma. Dark red-brown med fizzy fading head. Rich warming toasty toffeeish chocolate flavor. Med-full body. Lively carbonation. Balanced bittersweet finish. Very bocky, moreso than other Baltics I''ve had.
