Porter - Imperial Baltic Special|

A classic imperial Baltic-style porter.
Its pitch-black colour is paired with an inviting, malt-forward aroma featuring notes of roasted, almost burnt rye bread, dark chocolate and sweet toffee. The palate is creamy, full-bodied and with a silky texture. Sweet caramel and chocolate malt notes are balanced by a coffee-like roastiness and bitterness emerging in the finish. A refined imperial Baltic porter with a timeless flavour character.
