Beer Review: Alaska Brewing Baltic Porter

Appearance: Dark brown with a thick light brown head, heavy thick lacing.

Aroma: Roast chocolate, caramel, hints of espresso and banana bread. Alcohol comes out as it warms.

Taste: Sweet Chocolate milk, raisins, no hop presence.

Mouthfeel: Incredibly smooth.

Overall: Not what I expected. Too sweet in my opinion, and not as balanced as BJCP style guidelines would suggest. I have a bottle for aging that I will try in a year, but I'm not dropping another $9 on this anytime soon. You can read a bit more about what I thought here at Homebrewtalk.
