Commercial Description:
Our imperial, Baltic-style porter is inspired by the strong, dark brews exported from Great Britain to Eastern Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. Rich and flavorful with upfront notes of chocolate, caramel and toffee.

Enjoyed during the Kansas vs UNC final 4 matchup. Very dark brown beer that I can actually see through pretty easy as it pours. As expected, this one is very chocolatey out of the gate. Finishes like a Caramello bar. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Good job Jayhawks!

22 oz bottle. Dark black pour, with very little aroma. Surprisingly dull flavor. Some fairly typical roasted malt flavors, but overall nothing about this beer stood out for me. Kind of surprising considering I have really liked other offerings from this brewery. This aint bad, but it’s rather dull for the style.

300 ml draught at the Blind Tiger. Pitch black colour. Tall beige fine-laced head. Sharp refreshing gently roasted black malts. Smells like a lager. Clean. Smooth texture. Bold dark malts, but has little harshness and astringency. Very nice indeed. Lots of character. Notes of dark chocolate and licorice.

Bomber. Black with a solid beige head. Big nose - roasty caramel, molasses, coffee and a big toffee presence. Nice coffee and molasses flavor, lots of toffee and dried dark fruit. Satiny body, smooooooth. Mildly dry, fruity finish, a bit of anise. Excellent!

Pours very dark brown almost black with a coffee colored head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and toffee. Lots of oatmeal up front smooth out by a roasted coffee, chocolate maltiness, caramel and toffee. Finishes dry.

Solid porter of the baltic style. This is a style that should be exploited more. Its a porter that hits you hard with its notes of chocolate and smoke. Dark and delicious...just like I love my men.
