Lunar King Baltic Porter

Brewed by Baron Brewing & Lunar Brewing
Style: Baltic Porter
Seattle, Washington USA

22 ounce bottle from By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a deep shiny black body with next to no head. Sweet, saucy, sour nose. Rich, thick coffee chocolate, boozy, malt flavor. Bit of hops in the finish. A very nice interpretation of a Baltic Porter.

On tap at Uber. Pours blackish brown with a tan head. Actually, it’s kinda tough to tell what color it is, given the ambient light at Uber. Medium body. Sweet chocolate and brown sugar aroma and taste with just a little of the noble hops sneaking in. Tasty, and an easy drinker.

draft @ brouwer’s - thick and jet black with creamy off-white head; typical baltic porter aromas, but this has more body and texture than usual; dry aftertaste; pretty tasty

Bottle. Black with little head ring around edge of glass. Sour roast aroma. Coffee taste, bit of alcohol at the end.

bomber by way of riversideAK.

pours thin a dark brown near black body. i had to work really hard to get a small tannish head to appear. shortly after it climaxed it disappeared to nothing again. the aroma is very roasty/malty with a rubbery tar-like quality. also noted are toasted nuts, coffee, toffee, mild cocoa and black licorice candy. there’s a distinct lager yeast element behind flavors of roast, wood, toasted nuts/pecan cream, cocoa, vanilla and coffee with floral and spicy hops coming in on the clean crisp finish. the palate stays interesting and evolves quite a bit as it nears room temperature where the alcohol is barely noticed. the body is on the thin lager side but spice and crispness make up for it. prickly carbonation keeps it clean and terribly easy to drink! 7/3/8/4/15/3.7

roasted coffeemalt aroma, hop presence is noticeable yet faint. black, hard to see through with a faintly tan head. starts light in body for what i’ve come to know as the type and starts crisp with the roasted grain character up front, followed by a rising molasses sweetness and viscosity to finish weighted and drawn out. and, like the other baltic porters i’ve had, i don’t taste the high alcohol, but i sure feel it in my chest soon after drinking.

Dark brown/black pour with very thin to no head. The aroma is very roasted/burnt with some earthy bitterness and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is roasty, fruity, and bitter. Thinnish lager body. Somewhat clean finish for the amount of alcohol. Enjoyable on draught.

22oz Bottle – 99 Bottles – Federal Way, WA – A big Porter with a Baltic flavor. This beer had so much flavor it could have given to the next beer. Loved the finish on this beer. Great porter, chocolate flavors.
