Tap to rate

A near-black porter at 10.5% ABV with roasted malts, coffee and caramel.

Nearly opaque black with deep brown edges when held to light, characteristic of a traditional porter. A dense tan head forms on the pour and persists with good retention, leaving distinct lacing on the glass. The body appears full and viscous, with minimal carbonation visible.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt dominates the nose with pronounced coffee and cocoa notes, supported by subtle dark caramel sweetness. A gentle alcohol warmth emerges as the beer opens, without harshness. Background notes of dark fruit and molasses complete the complex, inviting aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with rich roasted character and bitter coffee, building into a substantial mid-palate with caramel maltiness and subtle dark fruit complexity. Bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, never aggressive. The elevated alcohol content (10.5% ABV) provides body and warming spice, balanced by the residual sweetness from specialty malts.

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.
