Our Capital Square Series features many rare, one-time pleasures (only 1,000 cases brewed). This baby is a dark hybrid of British and Baltic persuasion. Part porter. Part lager. Part dream come true.

Pours a clear bronzy copper color with a quickly fleeting, cream colored head. Absolutely no lacing marks the glass. The nose is sweet, showing brown sugar, caramel, dates and hazelnuts, along with some vanilla and a fumy alcoholic burn. Flavors follow suit, caramel and candied sugar leading the charge, followed closely by vodka soaked fruit and some dark, earthy spices. The finish is a bit sour and out of place, with more alcoholic heat lingering on the tongue. Weak, lowly carbonated mouthfeel for the style. This one had a decent nose, but otherwise didn’t impress me one bit. In a blind taste test, I’d never peg this for a Baltic Porter.

Prost to General Gao for this 12 oz! See-through mahogany beer with a small but creamy and lasting head. Aroma of sweet malt, dark roast walnut, dry yeast and cocoa. Flavor of malted milk ball and walnut. Well-disguised 8.5%. Medium body is soft and dry, with a thin mouthfeel. I love most malty brews, but never developed a taste for malted milk balls.

Pours a chocolate brown with a small head. Aroma is dark fruits, and dried fruits. Flavor is chocolate, with some coffee and fruit notes. Strange oddly thin mouthfeel with a nice finish. Never had a baltic porter before, This is a good tasting beer, it’s just I wonder if its a good example of the style because of the thinness. Definitely could drink a few of these, though.

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head that quickly diminishes. Aroma of toasted malt, smoke, dates, sulfur, and ashes. Flavor of dark fruit, roasted malt, vinous, caramel, and brown sugar with a odd bitterness in the finish.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. black pour with no head just a cream ring of froth. slight alcohol and vanilla on top of malts and fruits. very fruity on the palate with some alcohol and chocolate. very easy finish that balances everything out.

Light vanilla and cocoa in the nose. Sweet, wet chocolate is most prominent, followed by toast and weak coffee. Light mouth feel and light alcohol. Light in general, but good.
