Northern Monk Brew Co. "As One"
4,50€ / 25cl on tap @ Ølgod, Barcelona on 26 November 2022

Notes: We have brought together a small team to celebrate the country's culinary culture and raise funds to support those impacted by the war. Working with celebrated London based Ukrainian chef Olia Hercules we put together a recipe for this plum & buckwheat Baltic porter. The can is adorned with the beautiful artwork of Nastya Malkina and 100% of the profits of this beer are donated to Action Against Hunger to support their work in Ukraine.

Look: An opaque black body rests gently beneath a thin cap of light tan foam. Limited head retention and lacing (perhaps due to the servers pour or a dirty bar glass).
Smell: Dark chocolate, coffee beans, and dark fruit.
Taste: The dark chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit follow with additional notes of apple and pear, caramel, some nuttiness, and a touch of grassiness. A moderate bitterness keeps it balanced and it finishes mainly dry with some lingering bready, nutty, and caramelish malt.
Feel: Medium bodied and smooth with a fine-bubbled, moderate carbonation.
Overall: This is a pleasant enough fruited porter but it doesn't have the strength, maltiness, or richness of character to be labeled as a "Baltic Porter".
