Fear and Trembling was Hill Farmstead’s first collaboration – a Baltic Porter brewed with malt that was hand-smoked over maple wood by our Danish friend, and former colleague, Anders Kissmeyer. This version was brewed with malts smoked onsite with a blend of native woods, fermented with lager yeast, and conditioned in stainless. As a student of philosophy and former resident of Copenhagen, it is fitting that our brewer named our first collaboration after Denmark’s great thinker: Søren Kierkegaard. All three contemplated absurdity, faith, and salvation while wandering the shores of the Baltic Sea…
“…continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling…”

Tap at Tørst. Darkest brown color with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, roast, smoke, ash, good balance.Taste is classic Baltic Porter temptingness, and there's the smoke, great interplay, good drinkability. Silky mouthfeel, high carbonation. Very tasty!

Bottle. Dark maroon brown color beige head. Nice aroma of burnt brownies. Taste has medium roast coffee, burnt espresso in a soft smoulder. Medium body, easy drinking. One of the best smoked porters I've had in a long time.
