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.

Small brown head doesn’t last. Opaque black body. Deep raisiny toasty earthy aroma with dried fruit notes. Sweet floral fruity raisiny taste with toasted blackberry leaf notes. Full-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel, with slight heat. Sweetish toasty licorice aftertaste with fruity spicy raisiny notes. Lovely! Full of flavour, harmonic, rich. (0.355l bottle, from ... actually, I don’t remember.)

Dark blackish brown pour with a small pale mocha head. Heavy malty and slightly roasty nose with rustic dark bread, chocolate and minerals. Sweet, tiny bitter and heavy malty taste. Soft, round and tiny astringent mouth. Medium to full bodied. light alcohol burn. Very malty and very tasty baltic porter. I dig it! --- Beer merged from original tick of Baltic Porter on 08 Dec 2016 at 19:54 - Score: 8. Original review text: Very nice hearthy Baltic Porter. Great malt base!

Flaska från SB. Opak, mörkt brun vätska med lågt beige skum som snart försvinner. Stor doft av rostad malt med choklad, fudge, mörk torkad frukt, russin. Djup, komplex och koncentrerad smak med söt smakbild som ändå är riktigt drickbar och har riktigt bra balans.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours pitch black with a nice tan head, that disappears quickly. Roasted aroma with coffee, chocolate, liquorice and leather. Smooth, roasted taste with dark chocolate, liquorice with earthy bitterness. Quite dry with just hints of sweetness. Short, roasted chocolatey finish.
