An oft-overlooked beer style, Baltic Porters are a melting pot of European brewing traditions. In the early 19th century, brewers in the Baltic region took inspiration from English porters, Russian imperial stouts, and German bocks to create their take on a strong porter brewed with lager yeast. Our bourbon barrel-aged version offers a velvety mouthfeel with decadent notes of dark chocolate and molasses. The combination of rich malts with a clean lager fermentation make this after-dinner sipper dangerously smooth.

Had on tap. Shimmering black opaque pour with a mushroom colored head. Bourbon, dark chocolate, oak, earth, and licorice in the nose. Taste is much the same only with a hint of char. Feel is malty, warm, smooth, and well rounded. This does well to incorporate barrel into the baltic porter without losing the base beer's identity

I had this on draft 2/13/23 @ the Hopleaf.
Black appearance.
Small dark tan head; frothy lace.
Bourbon, oak, cream, dill & chocolate notes in the nose.
A lot going on here!
Creamy, medium thick mouthfeel.
Oak, dill, cream & faint chocolate flavors.
This smelled interesting enough but tasted kinda weak and..."off", somehow. Not one I'll return to.
