(bottle) dark brown colour with a medium sized frothy beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and raisins with a note of caramel and (hazel-)nuts. Slight molassy sweet flavour with a thick oily taste of roasted malts. Well balanced hopbitter finish with a medium length. Nice !

500 ml bottle, bought at Pivni Galerie, Prague. Dark reddish brown to ruby colour, large & thick tan head. Aroma is surprisingly moderate: some malts, porridge, hints of roastiness, caramel. Flavour is more impressive: an immediate malty sweetness hits the tongue, followed by a pronounced roastiness with coffee elements. A robust & warming mouthfeel, alcohol is evident but not unpleasant. Roasted malts and quite a bit of hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Not bad.

Clear dark red brown color, medium off-white head. Aroma of faint malt, bit roasted malts. Bit malty and sweet taste, but not very impressive.

Big dirty brown-yellow head, slowly and very evenly receding; nearly black beer, with reddish rims. Very bready nose, faint sourish-dark grain, bit liquorice. Burnt-bitter flavour, as a film overlying a deep dark ocean of liquid Germand sour/sweet bread. Quite sweet indeed. The chmel, cmelový extrakt notwithstanding, I detect little or no hops - the cukr indeed needs no translation. Well bodied, bit slick. OK porter, tastes very nourishing, at least.

Lightly brown, fizzy head, which is fully diminishing. Murky black body. Sweet malty aroma. Moderately acidic, lightly bitter initial flavour. Lightly acidic, lightly bitter (long) finish. Very nice Czech Beer!

[Had the same bottle as Jacob - we think this is the one] A brown beer with a beutiful light brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with notes of bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of bread, before a dry malty end sets in. A fine beer - but not a Porter in my universe.

Dark brown coloured body with copper highlights and a medium-sized soapy tan head. Aroma of maple syrup, soy sauce, roasted malt, cherries and concord grapes. Medium to Full-bodied; Initial cherry/grape sourness then fades into a sweet molasses/maple syrup flavour all finished by an inherent 'meatiness' stemming from soy sauce. Aftertaste is fairly mild, but some of the bittering characteristics come out near the end. Overall, this one is a pretty good Baltic Porter, but I fancy some American offerings of this style, and of course the Polish :-). I was lucky enough to get this 500 mL bottle in a trade in July (five months prior) with MattA, which I sampled on 22-December-2003. Thanks again Matt!

Black with a light tan head. Aroma of apple, caramel, and orange. Not much carbonation. Sweet with malt taste, a little too sweet for me. Reminded me of a sweet stout.

This has a dark brown color, with not much of a head, but some slight lacing. Smells sweet and roasty. It doesn't seem like much of a porter, especially due to its relatively thin body. It tastes more like a double bock. It's all toffee, caramel and coffee, and it's pretty darn good. Very sweet, with a slightly roasty finish. If you set aside the fact that it is supposed to be a baltic porter and just drink it for what it is, you'll quite enjoy it.
