JLWs chocolate peppermint baltic porter

Please keep in mind, im getting over a cold and may be off the mark on a couple points, but my smeller is working great and my taste buds are ok, not 100% but almost.

Aroma:
Big malt nose here, toffee, licorice, hints of chocolate and spices, and honest to God.... soy sauce.
No hop aroma.

Appearance:
cocoa brown with deep ruby when held to bright light. a nice full tan head that lasted for the entire pint. Good clarity for its color

Flavor:
Malty up front, some dry roasty chocolaty bite, as it warms I get black licorice and some floral/spice aftertaste with a fruitiness possibly black cherry, some pepper comes out as I breathe in on the next sip. I couldn't pull the mint out specifically, but it may be what I'm getting that I think is floral when combined with the roasted malts.

Mouthfeel:
Very smoothe, with moderate carbonation so it feels well balanced in its chewiness without seeming filling.
A slight warmness is in the finish.

Overall impression:
This is the first Baltic porter I have tried, and I enjoyed the developing flavors as it warmed and breathed a bit, the depth of flavors that develop make it tough to pinpoint what I'm picking up. I know that there is mint in here somewhere, but I may have missed that specific flavor plateau while making notes.
