Baltic Porter is a somewhat blended style, popular in the countries bordering the Baltic Sea. It's based on the English Porter style and strongly influenced by Russian Imperial Stouts. The resulting dark ale is stronger and more full bodied than a traditional Porter but doesn't have the intensity of an Imperial Stout. What we have is a rich, malty beer with notes of chocolate and roast malt overtones. The flavor has been mellowed further by conditioning on a blend of French and American oak. Served unfiltered.

"Smelled of roasted coffee-like malt and had an espresso like creaminess with a nice touch of malty sweetness peeking beyond the black malts and light bitterness."

"Poured a mahogany brown color with a small, tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, smoke, and roasted malts. Taste of sweet chocolate, roast, and light bitterness in the finish."

"Fairly dense light tan head. Black with hints of red highlights on the edges. The nose was a little weak but had wood, coffee and good malts. The taste was strang roasted coffee with hints of dark chocolate. There is a bite of floral hops. The mouthfeel was creamy. Very nice rendition of the style."
