Baltic Porter Day 2026 is a special imperial Baltic porter brewed by the Estonian brewery Põhjala to honour the international Baltic Porter Day celebration. This edition is crafted with a deep, robust dark malt base and traditional bottom fermentation, giving the beer its signature richness and smooth intensity. For 2026, Põhjala added aromatic pandan leaves, introducing a soft, exotic layer reminiscent of vanilla and herbal sweetness.
The aroma and flavour deliver a complex blend of roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, dark caramel and subtle bread-crust notes typical of the Baltic porter style. The pandan contributes a delicate sweetness that rounds out the beer and adds an unexpected modern twist. The finish is long, smooth and gently warming, making this release a standout choice for fans of refined, dark and full-bodied beers.

Black with a thin tan head. Soft and welcoming though full of flavor. Roasted notes, dark bread, light molasses, chocolate, a bit earthy, the pandan shows up in the middle. A hint of vanilla in the background. Medium bodied. Finish is sharp with alcohol, dry dark chocolate, and sweet earthy vibes. I’ve had pandan in cocktails before and wasn’t expecting it to work here but it does rather well. Very nice.

Med-full bod, med-light carbo. I dont have a clue what panoa even is. But the overall beer is a very nice B porter. Alc very deceptively hidden, light warmth only. Med sweet and bitter. Lots of chocolate, less toffee, less biscuity, hint of coffee. Great.
