Commercial Description:
A Baltic porter brewed in collaboration with Lew Bryson. This style is difficult to find outside of the Baltics. What a shame! The grist consists of lots of Munich malt and some chocolate and other specialty malts. A Bavarian lager yeast is used to create this. Dark and mysterious, subtle and well, it is called the Hammer. For those who care, Perkuno was the Baltic thunder god.

On tap, nice beige head, maybe a hint of orange in it. Full body, but not oily thick. Aroma is oh so good, chocolate, hint of roast. The alcohol is well hidden. Never turn this one down.

Excellent brew. Smells fantastic. Chocolate, sweetened espresso, plums, pepper, anise, caramel, and plenty of other stuff too! Fairly thick - not overly so, but soooo smooth bodied. Color is dark brown red, medium tan head and good lacing.

Very clean refreshing aroma. Some carmel and chocolate smells. Very dark blood red color with a cloud-like beige head. Tastes incredible. Tasty dark chocolate with carmel and nuts with a more roasted finish. My best perter to date.

Great porter and good ABV. Finally an imperial porter. Description on label tells the whole story.

Poured with a huge full light brown head. Black and opaque in color. Rich chocolate coffee and caramel aromas. Great full body with a great combination of malt flavors, caramel chocolate and roasted malt flvors come through. There is a slight bittersweet taste in the finish. The alcohol content is very well hidden in this wonderful beer. This is the 1st time I’ve had a baltic porter and it will not be the last! I bought this for the beer club I’m in but will get a case for myself next time.

A black beer with a very beutiful chocolate brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of smoke. The flavor is sweet smokey, slightly sour, and with notes of chocolate and coffee. A really nice beer.

Black coloured. Pleasant soft aroma of chocolate and liquorice. Roasty flavour with some sourness in the finish. Smooth mouthfeel.

Wow! This beer is intense. Black body with a ring of tan bubbles on top. Leaves drippy, soapy lacing. Has spiced rum aromas with woody, syrupy sweet notes. Strong orange tartness spearheads the flavor. There’s lots of thick chocolate and melon sweetness to hold it in check however. Finishes with smokey, raisiny malt. A fun beer to drink as there’s a lot going on in the aroma and flavor, and to boot it uniquely stands out well from the rest of the pack.
