Deep brown to nearly black in the glass, with a warm mahogany translucence at the edges. The unfiltered character yields a soft haze throughout the body. A creamy, tan head forms with solid retention and lacing, showing the presence of active yeast and subtle carbonation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with rich chocolate and caramel notes, supported by dried stone fruits—dates and figs—that suggest the hand-selected malt bill. Subtle roasted undertones emerge without harshness, while a clean yeast presence adds depth without fermentation character. No harsh alcohol or oxidation.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with chocolate and caramel forming the backbone. Mid-palate brings dark fruit complexity and a gentle roasted grain quality that ties the sweetness together. Bitterness is restrained at 25 IBU, arriving as a dry, coffee-like counterpoint rather than a sharp bite, leaving room for the beer's natural malt character to shine.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and persistent, with chocolate and caramel lingering alongside a gentle roasted note. The aftertaste remains dry without astringency, allowing the natural sweetness of the malt to fade gracefully.

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.
