KOMES PORTER reflects the history of brewing, referring to the 18th century tradition of brewing porters in the Baltic states. At their prime, Baltic porters represented one third of the market, which is the best evidence of their popularity. We offer you a well-balanced, dark, strong beer with a distinct flavour. Slow fermentation at low temperatures in open vats, coupled with long (at least 3 months) maturation have resulted in the beer’s character and complete, complex nature. The Porter’s bouquet matures further in the bottle. Time is on its side.

500 ml bottle. Barely translucent black brown color. Frothy tan head is two fingers high. Roasted malt nose hints at chocolate, Worcestershire and licorice. First sip yields notes of sweet roasted malt, cocoa, raisins and dark toast. Rich and flavorful with a touch of dark corn syrup. The 9% ABV is barely noticeable, but their is a warming alcohol prescence as the brew warms. An rae find and an outstanding example of the Baltic Prter style. Also, a tremendous value at $4.99 for a 500 ml bottle.

About as classic a Baltic porter as you can get, layers of rich chocolate and caramel, underlined by fig, black cherry, pumpernickel bread, and raisin, with hints of grass, walnutshell, roast, and coffee. A little more body would be nice, but otherwise a tasty pint.

Pours a deep brown colour with copper-ruby highlights. The head is quite big for such a high level of alcohol. Brown-beige coloured, frothy, almost creamy, like a latte, with good retention and some patches of lace. Lots of dark fruits in the nose with dates, raisins. Mild nuttiness with the roasted malt base. The taste has these darker fruits with the roasted malts and a nice finish of coffee, molasses and nuts. A decent dryness as well with the hops. All is nicely balanced and easy to drink.
