To celebrate Baltic Porter Day 2026, we present this rich, dark beer, fermented at a low temperature with an additional four weeks of lagering.
Roasted malts give freshly roasted coffee, a thick molasses sweetness and a sprinkle of dried fruits. Saaz in the kettle offers a balanced bitterness and lightly spicy herbaceousness. Clean and crisp yet also rich indulge in a depth of flavour created by beautifully grown ingredients.

Keg at 73 Enid Street, 13/02/2026.
Light black topped with a khaki cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is dark malts, molasses, toffee, toasted tones, dates.
Taste comprises dark malts, light roast, charr, fruit cake mix, light spice, cocoa powder.
Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Decent enough easy going sipper if perhaps lacking some depth.

Pours jet black with a thin dirty tan head that lingers around the glass. Loads of boozy dried fruit, molasses, prunes, dates, chocolate malt. Justca hint of a boozy kick on the end as it heads into more cocoa and dried fruit. Lovely!
