Batch 141 Baltic Porter tasting notes

Cold

Pours black with orange highlights, fairly clear, fine tan head that stays.

Aroma chocolate, sweet malt with roasty notes

Mouthfeel thin to moderate tooth, no coating or cloying, dry feeling in spite of sweetness

Flavor big chocolate up front, picking up sweetness blended with earthy/dirty hoppiness, some bitterness at back

Finish sweet flavor mixed with dry feel, a touch of hop bitterness.

Overall, pretty good to drink, would look for more spicy hops at the end, overpowering malt blend balances well against alcohol content.  Could add pumpkin spices to this.
