Milwaukee Ale House Baltic Porter

Brewed by Milwaukee Ale House
Style: Baltic Porter
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Dark brown pour nice tan well laced head although the beer just looks a little thin. flavor is bottom of the coffee pot bitter almost a touch sour too it from the coffee roast as well, Touches of milk chocolate do come through. Palate is to thin. Aroma is very light hint of chocolate, hard to pick up. Not a very good baltic.

On tap. Poured a darker brownish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate, some dark fruits, and roast. Tastes of chocolate and some dark fruitiness.

Nice to see that Skyview was at Beerfest too. This pours dark brown, with a combination of malt and hops with some cocoa. Semi-sweet, it’s nice.

Served on draught at the Wisconsin Micro-brewers Beerfest in Chilton, Wisconsin. Pours a dark brownish amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of toasted dark malt, some raisin, dark grapes, dark pitted fruits and a touch of chocolate. Taste is full bodied, light carbonated with flavors of toasted dark malt, bittersweet chocolate, some coffee and a touch of raisin. Finish has a nice alcohol warmth with a fruity and semi-sweet dark malt aftertaste that slowly disappears.

On tap at the Ale House. Poured dark reddish-brown with a short cap of off-white head. Soy and molasses give the first impression from the aroma.. as it warmed, it picked up a nice level of toastiness and some chocolate.. I enjoyed it after the initial impression. The flavor had semi-sweet chocolate with molasses and boozy soy.. the back-end was a bit muddled with a bunch of dark sugars going on.. not offensive, but not too particularly well-composed. This felt better on the palate as it warmed up.. heavier-bodied with a dry back-end.. hid the alcohol quite well.. bitterness was lighter and complimentary. Decent brew.

Rich fruit and malt initialy hit the nose,not getting the chocolate promised,could be some alcohol there,cant nail down the fruits but its not fig,taste goes heavy to the fruit side,you almost get the impression your drinking a dry fruity wine, fruit is defintely raisin that alcohol I couldn’t detect in the aroma,is blazing with both barrels in the taste,but not in a harsh way,its coming on smooth and pleasant. Some chocolate coming around as it warms. Head is nowhere to be found,hop bittering falls with the easy alcohol for a nice contemplative finish. Needs a little more malt influence,yeast esters to dominating. Described as being a lager, and tha is perfectly acceptable for a Baltic Porter to use lager yeast.

Pours a deep brown with very little head. Aroma is raisins and sweet fruit. Flavor is semi sweet chocolate, raisins, roasted malt and some floral noble hoppiness. Medium thickness, long sweet finish.

Pours a dark auburn color with a medium foamy head and some sticky lacing. Aroma is bitter chocolate and dark fruit. Taste is choclatey and dark fig/fruits.
