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

Damn good. Big coffee and roasted malt flavour, with a fruity, smooth finish.

This bottle is a little disappointing. It’s quite sharp, dry but with a thick sweetness in the back. Good, but not for Pohjala. Sterk ams

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Black, beige head. Potent aroma with earthy coffee and dark cherries. Mid sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Earthy licorice, cherry brandy and coffee. Mildly bitter finish. One of the rare beers where fruit is contributing in a positive way.

Bottle thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - opaque and jet black with a thin beige head. Nose - this is like tonka straight up, but apparently it's coffee cherries. Taste - more tonka, sweet coffee and dark chocolate. Palate - medium bodied, sweet middle and finish. Overall - good stuff.
