Heavyweight Perkunos Hammer Imperial Porter

Formerly brewed at Heavyweight Brewing Company
Style: Baltic Porter
Ocean Township, New Jersey USA

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.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of pineypower. Dark brown with a reddish hue and a small, light brown head. Roasted, slightly coffeeish nose. Medium body with rather sweet, roasted malt and a note of coffee without being overly burned. Subdued bitterness. Nice. 080707

Bottled, thanks Rastacouere! Very black, no head. Lovely aroma of chocolate and grapefruit. Reasonably dry, full bodied, some moilasses and chocolate punch. Some bitterness. Complex, but confusing. Baltic porters are usually very bold, simple beers, this one shoots for finer details and complexity, and gets a bit lost somewhere on the way. An interesting experimental beer though.

From 12 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with no head. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee with a slight dry wineous dried fruit note. Chocolate malt flavouvered with a coffee note. Little winous raisin dryness. Nice and solid.

Bottled. Black opaque colour, small brown head. Roasted malt, sweet caramellish notes in aroma. Sweet caramel, old coffee and roasted malt in flavour. Aftertaste is mainly roast and coffee. Sticky, but pleasant palate.

Bottle, thanks to Dixen for sharing. Black coloured with a beige head. Aroma of prunes and liquorice. Flavour of prunes, liquorice and dried fruits.

pours thick and black with a whispy tan head, light roasted malt aroma, big body, rich dry malt flavor, good balance of roasted and chocolate malts, a hint of sweet fruity character that almost breaks through - a bit of age should help, only a touch of bitterness in the finish, upon warming the flavor gets incredably rich and the bitterness picks up a bit,

hot alcoholic aroma, sweet malty chocolate flavor, lots of sweet licorish, the fruity character is starting to come out but is still obscured by the alcolocic burn, getting better

picking up some smoke in the aroma, much more of the rich chocolate without the alcoholic burn this time around,
