Commercial Description:
Redoak Baltic Porter has been brewed true to style and is a rich tasting beer with a velvet smoothness on the palate, a burnt currant fruitiness, followed by a warmth embrace of alcohol. This beer style originated in Russia for Catherine the Great in the Royal Court in the 17th century. David first tasted a Baltic porter in 1994 in a small café in Poland and no-one seemed to know what it was. Internationally, it was a lost style until discovered by Michael Jackson (the Beer expert) in 1997.

Bottled at RBESG-06, GTN. Dark, reddish-brown, clear-looking beer with a small, tan head. Coffee, alcohol, mild chocolate, mocha and hops in the aroma. A very smooth beer with wocha, coffee, dark bitter chocolate and a full body. The finish has some alcohol with lots of coffee-bitterness. I want more of this! (060826)
