Mashsee Captain Blaubeer

Tap to rate

Mashsee's Captain Blaubeer is a Baltic Porter that dares to be different—pitch-black, 6.1% ABV, dry-hopped with Comet for an unexpected berry lift. Roasted malt, caramel backbone, and a full body (78 points) that carries blueberry aromatics instead of the typical dark-fruit anonymity. Dark, fruited, and weirdly elegant for something this heavy. Not traditional; better for it.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a rich, malty entry with pronounced roasted character and smooth dark chocolate notes that build complexity. Mid-palate reveals caramel sweetness balanced by subtle coffee undertones and dark fruit complexity, while the modest 25 IBU provides gentle bitterness that complements rather than dominates. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and creamy, coating the palate with luxurious texture.

◑ Finish

The finish is remarkably clean and dry, with the blueberry aromatics lingering subtly in the aftertaste. The roasted and chocolate notes fade gracefully, leaving a pleasant dry minerality that invites the next sip.
