Night Raider
Free Will Brewing Co.

Poured from 16 oz can to a tulip glass. Allowed to warm for a few minutes prior to sipping. Look is dark brown cola colored with some reddish highlights around the edges. Thin khaki head falls quickly to a few whisps of foam. Some lacing that falls off after a few moments. Smell is roasted malt, chocolate, black coffee. Taste starts with chocolate and coffee. Middle gets some roasted barley and a general maltiness. End of the sip gives me a bit of berry fruitiness and tobacco. Finish is short to medium. Feel is medium carbonation, smooth, easy to drink. Alcohol is lower for a Baltic porter so no real alcohol presence or warming. Overall, good beer, a lot of flavor. I'd go back for more.

16 oz can

pours black in color, khaki colored head. aroma and flavor leans to roasted malt and dark chocolate. taste is slightly sweet. medium to full bodied, fairly smooth mouthfeel.

On draught at the brewery. Served in a plastic cup. It pours a dark cola color with a thin, light khaki cap and lacing. The nose features roasted malt, earthy char, burnt coffee, and tobacco smoke. Its taste covers the bases with lots of burnt coffee and char, cigar, and a hint of stewed plum. The mouth feel is pleasantly creamy and appropriately carbonated. At 6.5% ABV it's readily drinkable. Overall, Night Raider is a basic, easy-drinking Baltic Porter. I enjoyed it. I'd like to try it from the can at a warmer temperature.

Preface that I am a baltic porter fan and this one did not disappoint. Low ABV for this style but does drink liker a heartier porter. Not the best BP porter that I've had but this one is decent.
