look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
Enjoyed from bomber, bottled 2017-08-23. Solid pour is rewarded with two fingers of head in a teku glass but pretty light retention of lacing. Cocoa and peat smoke on the nose, very mild tartness on the palate. Bittersweet baker's chocolate and hints of black cherry and tree bark.

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.
