The main distinguishing features of the Baltic porter are the use of bottom-fermenting yeast, roasted malts and long aging. Style enthusiasts additionally extend this time, which, under the right conditions, refines the taste.
In our brewery, we draw on the tradition of brewing in Pomerania. Therefore, the Baltic porter was the obvious choice. Its recipe was developed in the 19th century in the countries of the Baltic Sea basin and in Russia. It was a replacement for the Russian imperial stout imported from Great Britain.
We have been brewing our Grand Imperial Porter since 2008. From the very beginning, it was recognized by consumers and received many awards:
2013: Chmielaki Krasnostawskie; first place in the category: Strong dark beer with an extract content in the wort area 18.1° BLG.;
2010: Beer of the Year title awarded by Bractwo Piwne;
2010: 1st place in the Browar.biz plebiscite in the “Porters” category;
2009: 2nd place in the Beer of the Year category in the Browar.biz plebiscite;
2009: 1st place in the Browar.biz plebiscite in the “Porters” category;
2008: 1st place in the “Porter” category in the 2nd Christmas Porter and Stout Tasting in Moscow;
2008: 1st place in the Browar.biz plebiscite in the “Porters” category.
Porter perfectly complements the taste of desserts. Some people add a scoop of ice cream to it. In a dry version, it perfectly harmonizes with hearty red meat dishes.

0,5 l bottle as Amber Grand Baltic Porter. Thanks a lot to kappldav123! Nearly black in the glass, one finger beige head. Roasty dark malt and nutty aroma. Taste is roasty malty with nut elements, lactose and choco, some licorice, hints of berryfruits. Not as alcoholic as expected. Very low carbonated. Really nice stuff.

0.5 l bottle @ Hopaholic. Pours black with no head. Some slight malts in aroma, with chocolate and liquorice. Chocolate and liquorice define its taste as well, resulting in overwhelmingly sweet ending. Surprisingly light body, soft carbonation.

03.09.2021 Aromat prawie niewyczuwalny jakieś słód może trochę kawy, lukrecja Piana jasnobrązowa beżowa, szybko opadła, ciemno brązowe właściwie nie przejrzyste Smak słodki z palonymi akcentami Nagazowanie niskie, ciało średnie, szczypiące lekko w język od gazu,, gładkie, pełne, alkohol niewyczuwalny. Ogólnie dobry porter, mało aromatyczny tylko, do wypicia bez zachwytów.

Аромат весьма дрожжевой, как ни странно, немного сладкий, ощущаться легкая жженка и карамелька но легкая. Есть нотки ванили и намек на шоколад. Цвет темный, но просвет есть. Пенка средняя, мелкопузырчатая очень сливочная. Вкус тоже сливочный с первого глотка. Ощущаться сладкие нотки ванили и сливочность во рту. Снова очень много дрожжей. Послевкусие с легкой горчинкой и кислинкой, слегка даже бархатное, легка терпкость на языке. В принцип пиво питкое несмотря на сильные градусы. Снова немного смешанных шоколадных ноток. В целом неплохой соперник Балтике 6

My big bottle says 7.2% but other than that, its the exact same label as pictured. Mild roasted wood nose. Look is big dark brown, almost black but not there. First taste is a little sweet, approaching cloying but never quite gets there. Then there is this wooded burnt wood feeling in there riding in the background. Yes, that sweetness is hanging in there thru the middle. Seems to be building as I near the end of the bottle. There is some carbonation in there, but you really need to look for it considering the caramelistic taste. Yes now I'm getting it, some sweet caramel along with caramelized dark brown sugar, almost approaching a less sweetened caramel chocolate. Wait, maybe I can't detect the chocolate. In the end, this is simply a sweeter higher alky porter, the kind that never approaches a stout in nature. Very baltic in nature but with a tad more sweetness.
