This style originated in the region bordering the Baltic Sea and is a take-off on English porters. Originally an ale, brewers in the region switched over to Lager yeast making this big, dark beer extremely smooth and chocolaty. It lacks the roast bitterness of a stout, but has layers of chocolate, coffee, caramel, perhaps toffee and a wine-like finish.

Not as harsh as some baltic porters i have had so thats good. Nice roasted chocolate aroma and pretty good flavor. Enjoying my new 99 cent Southern Tier glass from goodwill.
