Dry Hop January - Dry Hopped Baltic Porter

330ml can. Jet black colour with average to huge, thick, firm, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, tan head. Roasty, chocolately, minimally spicy, dark malty and minimally zesty, citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of dark chocolate, liquorice, some mandarine. Taste is roasty and spicy, dark malty, slightly caramel malty, slightly citrusy fruity hoppy with a zesty touch, notes of liquorice, some coffee, dark chocolate, dark caramel, toffee, a touch of mandarine, orange peel, a minimally salty touch as well. Oily to viscous texture, smooth, soft and silky, minimally cloying palate, medium to fine, soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Aroma has a light Imperial BIPA touch, taste tends more to the malty side; well crafted, nice spiciness - interesting interpretation of the style touches some strings neglected from the dominant Polish or Estonian conductors and vice versa.

A black beer, a head is quite big, thick adn light brown. Aroma has liquorice, chocolate, caramel, some dried fruits and salty salt liquorice. Taste has liquorice, caramel, some roastiness, light dried fruitness, nice salty salt liquorice. Also some bitterness is nice there. Medium+ bodied. Nothing special but this is balanced and tasteful beer. Very nice.

Can picked up from the brewery, half price I think, 21st May 2021. Pours black, aroma is roasted malts, cocoa, aromatic, lots of hops. Taste is fantastic, hoppy, aromatic, bitter, cocoa, some citrus, perfume. Really enjoyed this very hoppy porter, right on.

33cl can, BB 12/01/2023.
Noire marqué, col épais crémeux café au lait tenace.
Arôme est marqué par les notes de malts - chocolaté, caramel, toasté, avec de suite des effluves plaisantes des houblons - parfum de pin, fruits rouges par le mélange houblons/malts, et un retour en rétro-nasal de chocolat.
Palais est profond marqué par les malts - ici du chocolaté, caramel, un peu de carafa avec ce côté Vienna pour un palais grillé avec des petites pointes de noix. Deux houblons classiques projetant vers les souvenirs des IPA côté ouest US - époque où cela définissait une bonne IPA - que du changement. Cet apport des houblons font partir ce Baltic Porter vers une sensation de Black IPA vu le remplacement des houblons nobles - juste ce côté levure lager qui apporte un caractère oscillant vers une Scottish Ale.
