Commercial Description:
Dark, Robust. Monteith’s Baltic Porter is a soothing velvety Porter with a soft liquorice nose, adding a spicy lift to the rich malt base. There is a gentle barley note in the mouth that tends to sweetness at first then rounding out into a lovely dry malt biscuit finish. You will find no heavy chocolate or any grassy hop characters, just complex malt and spice with the merest, tempting touch of sherry contributing finesse. Monteith’s Baltic Porter is equally at home with a crusty bread and tasty aged cheddar as with Chinese food that uses a touch of five spice or star anise.

Bottled. Almost black in colour with a medium sized off-white head. Lightly roasted and malty with notes of chocolate, liqourice and berries. Ok but a bit thin.

Nice dark colours. Aromas a little cherry and raisen. Sweet with come complexity but a thin body lets it down. Nice dried fruit flavours but a typical lightweight version of a style that Monteiths are becomming known for.

Pours a dark brown with a nice off white head, foamy head. Smells of malts and light milk chocolate. Mellow sweetness with flavors of malt and chocolate. Medium bodied. Sweet finish with a tiny hint of alcohol.
