What is a Coffee Porter?
Porters are dark ales with 4–6.5% ABV and IBU 18–35. Roasted malt brings chocolate, caramel and toffee — medium body with a clean finish.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink within 6–12 months for best results. Baltic Porters can be aged longer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Awake
◎ Appearance
Deep brown to black, opaque and dense. The head forms thick and persistent, clinging to the glass in a fine foam collar. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, giving the beer a substantial visual presence without heaviness.
◌ Aroma
Espresso and freshly ground coffee dominate the nose, supported by rich roasted malt and dark chocolate undertones. A subtle note of dark fruit emerges beneath, grounding the brighter coffee character. The overall impression is clean and inviting, without any stale or ashy edges.
◐ Taste
Entry is full-bodied and smooth, with roasted malt and dark chocolate establishing a rich foundation. Mid-palate carries forward pronounced coffee notes—bright and slightly bitter—that cut through the sweetness without overwhelming it. Bitterness is restrained at 33 IBU, allowing the coffee and chocolate to lead; the finish stays clean and dry rather than cloying.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste is short to medium, coffee-driven and crisp. Any residual sweetness fades quickly, leaving behind a clean, slightly bitter espresso note that invites another sip.
