Snifter pour at Fatheads in North Olmsted, OH.
Pours black with a small mocha head that quickly dissipates. Smell is dark fruit and light rye whisky. Taste mimics the nose. This has spent 7 months in the barrel and works well. Surprisingly no heat at all. Flavor is a bit rough around the edges but super smooth. Goes down way to easy. A nice variation but not as good as the original.

On tap at Fat Head's Saloon in Pittsburgh, PA.
Pours dark black, with a one inch head, and a little bit of lacing.
Smells like chocolate, dark fruits, and a little bit of roasted malt.
The barrel on this one is super subtle, it doesn't feel like it was aged for very long. It is quite smooth, however, with some chocolate, dark fruit, vanilla, and roasty bitterness. It doesn't specifically feel like a baltic porter- I don't know if it was lagered. It doesn't really matter all that much, though. It tastes great.
This is medium bodied, not that thick, but not that thin, either, with a creamy, and slightly sweet mouthfeel. It's quite drinkable, I drained the glass really quickly.
Luckily for this one, the base beer is really delicious, so it doesn't matter that the barrel was subtle.
