Babaduk

Tap to rate

A reworking of the classic English porter, intense and full-bodied, with notes of chocolate, hazelnut and coffee. Hopping is kept very restrained, so sweetness and bitterness stay in balance and the roasted side carries the beer.

Serve at 10–13°C

Serve at 10–13°C. Too cold mutes the roasted complexity that makes a good porter worth drinking slowly.

Pint glass

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.

What is a 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.
