Danzig, which we named after a Baltic Sea town, isn’t for the faint of heart… or mouth. It’s a well-balanced, full-bodied blend of a strong English porter and a Germanic black lager, making it smooth with a sneaky high ABV. The intense mix of malts and hops provides flavors of chocolate, coffee, and caramelized sugar. No wonder it won Bronze at the World Beer Cup 2018. It’s full-on! Hence the lightning bolt on the pack.

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 11/21/12, Listed at 25 IBUs on the menu
Aroma: This one has a nice nose of roasted malts, chocolate, and some licorice
Appearance: It pours into the glass a dark brown color with a brown head and light lace
Flavor: The flavor is malty, a little sweet, a little roasted, and with a roasty and lightly bitter finish
Palate: The body is medium-full, with a somewhat heavy feel, a dry roasted feel to the finish
Overall Impression: The waitress mentioned a few times that this one had just won Silver at the GABF 2012, so I was expecting an excellent Baltic Porter, and that is pretty much what I got. This was a really good one in my opinion, and a clear favorite at our table (of mostly big time Porter fans).

4oz pour at Churchkey. Pours an opaque black with a thin, creamy white head. Nose is lightly smokey, sweet, a little yeast. Flavor is malty, chalky, smokey, yeast, bread crust, light caramel. Full bodied, dry, smokey finish. Just the right amount of smoke to make this enjoyable, while also being a bit of a twist on the style.

Served on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark rust-tinted brown color with a medium sized frothy brown head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is chocolate primarily along with light roastiness and bitter, leafy hops. The taste also features chocolate along with caramel and lightly bitter leafy hop notes. Smooth and creamy. Medium bodied. Good beer.
