Pint can purchased at ABV Public House in Hillsboro, OR. Date stamp reads "11/26/24 OAK UNION BREWING GILTINE BALTIC PORTER. DARKNESS!". Poured in a nonic half-pint glass.

Body is deep brown with burnt orange highlights and a head of thick tan foam. Flavor is full of malted milk balls with a smidge of roast, a splash of coffee, a hint of smoke. Notes of caramel and blackberries with some roasted nuts in the finish. Not too sweet. Creamy texture with soft carbonation in a body that feels a little light for a beer of this size.

A fine example of a Baltic Porter, and even better than I remember from last year.
