Brewery: Victory Brewing Company website
Country: USA
Region: Downingtown, Pennsylvania
ABV: 8.5% Abv
How served: 22oz capped bomber poured into a Brigand chalice.
My Overall Opinion: Very Good 
I paired this beer with: Leftover thick tomato based vegetable soup with shrimp and fish added. The mild chocolate taste in this baltic porter clashed with the tomato in the soup. Next time I’ll stay with an IPA.
Tasted on: Thursday May 20th, 2010.
Note: The first thing which hits you with this beer are hints of chocolate, toffee and the sweetness of the malt. There is no way that you would think this was 8.5% abv, as it drinks more like a 5%er. This was a very enjoyable brew, just wish I paired it with desert instead.
On the Label: Enjoy by Jan 27, 2011 otherwise the same as “About” below.
From their website:
ABOUT Truly a worldly beer. Baltic Thunder represents the Baltic Porter style admirably. Exhibiting the enticing, toffee roast of the British porter that originated the style in the 18th century, and the soothing, subtle fruit nuance of contemporary brews that flourish from Helsinki to Vilnius today, this dark lager honors the Baltic god of thunder. Created by an inspired collaboration of brewers and tempered with a touch of turmoil, Baltic Thunder rolls on to bring you enchanting light as the darkness fades.
