A: Pours a dark, nearly opaque black color. A two finger tan head rises with good retention. Lacing for days is left behind.
S: Espresso and roasted malts in the nose. Very simple, but enjoyable.
T: Follows the nose with a nuanced espresso, creamed coffee like flavor. Some dark fruits like cherries in the mix. With a light bitterness lingering from the roasted character.
M/O: A full body with soft but noticeable carbonation. Ultra smooth, also clean, without being to heavy or viscous. A very nice sipper, but I can also have more than one in a sitting.

Well done all around. The malts are perfectly balanced with the roast and the softer espresso like flavors. Which makes for an overall really enjoyable Baltic Porter.
