Sinebrychoff Porter
Bottle has a best before E81705... 8/17/05? A-Pours pitch black with a .5 finger brown head. S-Smells magnificently rich with dark fruits (plums, raisins, and cherries) with a fair helping of chocolate malt and coffee, and some vanilla and sweet alcohol. T-Wow, the cherry note on the smell is really coming through for me with roasted coffee(and the associated bitterness) with a woody character to it. M-A little thin bodied, with low carbonation, but I've found the thin body to be a common characteristic among Baltic Porters. D-There's a lingering dry, almost astringent, bitter thing going on in the finish that makes this one a little hard to drink for me.
