Squinting against the grey black horizon you spy in the distance the odd sparkle and glimmer; the far away lights of the Baltic port of Danzig are bidding you welcome.

Mocha goodness
Danzig Baltic Porter is almost black with a thin tan head. The foam disappeared fairly quickly - no ring and barely a trace of lacing.
Smells great - chocolate and coffee in almost equal measure. Nothing fancy, but I enjoyed taking deep breaths when I drank.
The mocha maintains the balance in its taste, too. Nice roasted malt traits are kept from lingering long and there is a sweetness keeping most of the bitterness at bay.
Danzig is a great choice for any dark beer lovers.
