Black Swan is a robust yet delicate, soft and complex blackberry Baltic Porter. We went a bit overboard on the berries and used 360kg of blackberry puree for 9000L! It's dark with a nice purple brown head. On the mouthfeel, we have a nice chocolate and sour fruity finish

Bouteille 33cl de BBP, BB 08/2020. Brune-cuivrée, col café au lait. Arôme de suite marqué par des effluves de mûres, le tout sur des effluves de malts biscuités et caramel. Palais est boozy, mais arrivant à bien mettre en avant les mûres et ce malgré leur profil aigrelet. Le tout se prête fort bien au malté caramel et grillé. L'effet fruité adouci un peu la fin de bouche, et un léger côté sucre résiduel perce. Amertume sur la fin avec des notes de citronné et épices.

Thank you for sharing! Sampled draft @ BBP Wanderlust 2018. Dark red brown with creamy tanned head. Nose is super weird compote with, branches, leaves & blackberry juice with skins. Taste is weird compte so much blackberry juice, twigs, branches, liquorice, little carbonation, leaves, branches, so weird, fruit / compote combo,… To weird, def didn’t feel 10.2 % ABV. Too weird & hard to drink.
