Foeder Fermented Baltic Porter
Here’s the formula: a grizzly crime, a bleak location, a tortured protagonist, dour locals, and twists galore. Let’s set the scene…The crime: Foeder Baltic Porter? I mean, that’s more of a gem than a crime. Bleak locale? Well, it is Colfax, but don’t think we’d call it bleak. Tortured protagonist? Actually, our head brewer is a pretty delightful guy and doesn’t seem to be haunted by his past. Dour locals? Our regulars are what make this place great. Ok, maybe this isn’t a candidate for a brooding, Scandinavian police procedural. I mean, how brooding can you be when you taste like Toasted Marshmallow, Birch Beer, Oloroso Sherry and Tobacco Leaf?
Hops: Exp #06300
Oak Type: American Oak Foeder

Transparent dark brown body; one-finger thick, frothy khaki colored head. Huge aroma of cocoa powder and milk chocolate. The taste follows along with the smell attributes; medium to bold bitterness, some from the malt, some from the hops. Heavy body; relatively smooth overall; excellent residual sugar presence.
This is a rich and delightful Baltic porter, chock full of flavor, aroma, and feel.
Pouring temperature: 45 °F; canning info: no date; American oak foeder; experimental hop #06300

Had November 2019, on draft at Cerebral.
L - Dark as Satan's taint, not much head on the draft pour I had.
S - Roast, mallow, toffee-coffee, almost savory smell on the back. Interesting.
T - Giant explosion of Baltic Porter on 'roids - an Imperial version basically of a basic Baltic. Crushes the palate, but delicious coffee, roast, and burnt malt taste all around.
F - could have used a tad more carbonation to make it less decadent, a little more lively, but me likely.
O - a damn good Baltic - wish they would can THIS and send it down the Front Range.
