Baltic Porter

Tap to rate

Coffee, roast barley and Munich malt shape the flavour, with depth from single-origin Honduran coffee beans, ground and added in the mashing process to build depth, while light hopping leaves space for them. A quaffable, sessionable version of the historic Baltic porter at 4.8% ABV, brewed in collaboration with Titanic.

Coffee dominates the nose—roasted and assertive from the single-origin Honduran beans incorporated during the mash.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the warmth of ground coffee and roasted grain, building a balanced bitterness around 30 IBUs that frames rather than overwhelms. Munich malt provides a soft, caramel-touched body in the mid-palate. Light hopping preserves the coffee's depth without competing, making this a cohesive and drinkable interpretation of the Baltic porter style.
