Indigenous to northern Europe, Baltic Porters historically stem from the shipping of British porters to the Russian hinterland. Unlike their British cousins, Baltic Porters are often brewed with lager yeast, which is the tradition we follow. Big & bold, with flavors of coffee, dark fruit & raisins, this black beer is smooth as a chocolate swirl.

Admin Note: Became a year-round release in 2015. Retired in 2018.

Bottle. Dark brown with a medium sized, lush, creamy head that was long lasting. Lots of lace. Aroma had hints of coffee and dried fruit. Taste was coffee with hints of fruit cake, and slow roasted grains. Sweet upfront and a nice smooth finish. Great winter warmer.

Bottle. Almost clear, very dark brown body with a beige head. Very pleasant aroma of sweetish, dark malt, dry fruit and chocolate. Flavor is sweet and pleasant, dark malt, mild roast, smooth, coffee, chocolate, dry fruit and balancing bitterness. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Classic.

4pack from the lcbo. Jet black pour, big mocha head. Aroma is incredibly roasty, but also has a lovely round fruitiness. Hints of soy and milk chocolate, and subtle hazelnut. Oily mouth feel, nice carb. Finish is medium bitter, loads more roast, some smoke, and fruity. Really nice stuff.
