BBD: 06.2017 New deli tick.

Pours with ample head, a couple fingers of khaki tinged foam rises to the rim and stays there. Color is pretty dark, though there's a chestnut highlight when held to the light.

Aroma is familiar to homebrewers, sweet fresh wort. Kind of metallic, trace nutty malt, black tea.

Taste is a little hamfisted, sweet wort, black tea, table sugar. Tastes artificially sweetened, lots of residual sugar. Yuck. Undercarbed and underattenuated. Can't say this is very successful. Porter is up next, hoping for the best.

Pours with a moderate head, dark brown (bordering black) but not completly opaque. Smell of dark, roast malt. This isn't their porter... but it's quite heavy androasted for a Euro Dark Lager!? I mean, Baltic character in the nose and mouthfeel. Light bodied however. Like a watered down Baltic? Tough trying to grasp what exactly I have here...
Not much aftertaste, smooth texture, flavour refined well. Some stickyness in the mouth from the roastness. A little bit of coffee maybe? As it warmed it left an astringent feeling (like strongly steeped tea). A very peppery/smoked taste. I'd suggest it could use a little hops (or maybe more malt) to dampen the light/watery mouthfeel a little thicker.
All the same, this could pass for a lightweight (without the real strength or presence) Baltic and is an excellent interpretation of the style by this brewer.
