We worked with the team at Wheel Horse and settled on Baltic Portic which both honors our legacy as a lager brewery and imparts the specific malt profile that best accentuates a barrel aged spirit to formulate a robust beer that layers specialty malts with our base of locally malted barley from Stone Path to create the perfect blend to age in their proprietary barrels.

We put our minds together to settle on a Baltic Porter that layers roasted and specialty malt character and is cold fermented with our lager yeast. The result is a velvety smooth strong dark lager with notes of toffee, cold brew coffee and dark chocolate.

After aging in Wheel Horse Bourbon barrels we gain notes of vanilla, oak and spirit. The perfect marriage of spirit, wood and beer.

16oz can served in a Spiegelau tulip. Pours the color and clarity of cola with a quarter-inch, mocha-colored head embedded with pinpricks and ringlets. Head quickly dissipates into a tight band around the shoulders and a slick of foam that slowly disperses towards one side of the glass. Nose expresses hints of butterscotch, roast, cocoa, a vinous quality and a suggestion of spirits in the background. Taste follows nose with notes from the barrel amplified at the finish. Mouthfeel is light-medium in body with a pleasant, even carbonation. Overall, a well executed example of an under-represented style (I believe this is lagered).
