BA Imperial Baltic Porter 13% vol
A bigger and bolder version of Öö brewed for its 10th anniversary, aged in cognac barrels.
Taste: A velvety concoction of toasted malts, chocolate ganache and luscious vanilla slowly melt away, until delicate notes of blackberries and heather tips emerge. The finish reveals an elegant cask presentation with notes of warming cognac, dark dried fruits and refined tannins.
Appearance: As pitch black as the night sky, with a dense chestnut head.
Nose: The rich aroma of chocolate and cracked walnuts jump out of the bottle, quickly followed by a gentle touch of vanilla.
Malts: Pilsner zero, Munich, Carafa special T-2, Chocolate dark, Caramel 300, Special B, dark sugar, raisins
Hops: Columbus, Northern Brewer
OG 33° ; FG 11.5° ; IBU 30

Bottle. Color: Black, thin brown head. Aroma: Sweetish, roasted malt, vanilla, boozy Cognac. Taste: Smooth, roasted malt, boozy and sweetish Cognac (white grapes), some hopbitterness, vanilla, wood, caramel and coffee. Hints of dark chocolate. Oily mouthfeel. Full body, below average carbonation. Medium sweet. Long lasting sweetish, boozy Cognac finish. Nice one, but missing the balance of the great first Öö XO Batch.

On tap. Pours almost black with a moderate tannish head. Aromas of nougat, fruity cognac, raisins caramel malts. Flavors follow same with emphasis on caramel and additional chocolate. Cognac up front and sticky caramel to finish. Very good
