An indulgent imperial Baltic porter brewed with dried coffee cherries to celebrate Baltic Porter Day 2024.
Taste: Bittersweet notes of dark chocolate and amaretto intertwine with dried berry undertones. As the flavors develop, subtle whispers of vanilla, toasted malt and blackcurrant jam echo through the beer.
Appearance: A pitch black beer with a luscious tan head.
Nose: A tantalizing blend of sweet cherry compote, double shot of espresso, toasted almonds and a delightful hint of warming spices.
Malts: Munich light, pilsner zero, rye malt, chocolate rye, red rye crystal, Carafa special T-2
Hops: HBC 431

330ml bottle, 2024 version consumed on Baltic Porter Day 2026. Pours almost black with a very thin tan head that disappeared very quickly. Aroma of dark chocolate, raisins, cherry, liquorice, light nutty. Taste is rich, dried fruits, raisins, cherries, dark chocolate, liquorice, nutty malts, very mild coffee, warming booze. Medium bodied, smooth. Great stuff.

Bottle from ermm... not sure. Dark. Cola brown tint. The tan head is initially foam6 but then almost entirely shrinks away, leaving a thin band around the rim. The aroma has gingerbread with a coffee bitterness and light liqourice. A tangy bitterness. Coffee and liqourice. Doughy underbelly Medium bodied. Creamy but also a soft-fizzy carbonation that jazzes things up. And chalky. A whipped cream with the added texture of ground spice. Long dry astringent finish. Not always a fan of spices (not spicy) beers but this is good stuff.

25/1/2025. Bottle at the ITFC Vintage and rare Saturday share part 1. From Hopsters, Ipswich courtesy of ITFCDan. Pours close to black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is dark chocolate, roasted malt, sweet coffee, cherry liqueur, vanilla, light coconut. Nicely balanced taste, with some nice sweetness, light bitterness and toasted notes. Quite full bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Enjoyed this.

330ml bottle at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a thin, round light tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and molasses. The flavour is moderate sweet and liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, roasty, earthy, light marzipan, dark chocolate, light boozy, liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

This is really nice! The coffee cherries add a very attractive red fruitiness.
