Appearance: Pours with a bubble show that delivers three fingers of tannish foam; the espresso colored liquid beneath reveals some ruby highlights; good retention and a few streaks of lacing
Smell: Baker's chocolate and a hint of molasses
Taste: Strong chocolate tones from start to finish, with the molasses delivering some sweetness, through the middle; the finish has a hint of roast and coffee
Mouthfeel: Full body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A nice beer but more of an Imperial than a Baltic; lacks the subtle dark fruit tones I look for in the style

Tasted in a Spiegelau stout glass from a 1 pt 6 oz bottle on December 27, 2016. Bottled on 10/4/16. Look is dark brown with a thick tan head and lingering lacing. Smell and taste is chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Feel is full in body with a crisp finish.

Matte black with a light tan large foamy head.
Smell is chocolate, banana, and moderately roasted malt.
Taste is a little metallic, yet roasty, with cola, cocoa.
A bit boozy and rum-like at times.
I've had a few stellar Baltic Porters, and unfortunately, despite FFF's skill with dark brews, this one just does not stand out as very good.

Had this on 2016-10-18 in Columbia, PA from a 22oz bomber.
A - Clear but very dark brown with a bit of ruby. 2-finger dark tan lace and excellent lace.
S - Medium roasted grain, mocha, mild earthy spice. Pleasant. Not real strong.
T - Dark fruit like dried plums and figs, espresso with whole milk, medium-dark chocolate, fully-toasted wheat bread with charred edges, earthy spice, roasted and hop bitterness in the finish. Rich and delicious.
M - Medium-heavy body and light-medium carbonation yield a smooth, substantial, creamy feel. Very nice.
O - A really tasty, balanced brew with great feel. Well done.
