A rich imperial Baltic porter brewed with local rye to celebrate Estonian Independence Day.
Taste: The initial burst of flavours unleashes a symphony of mocha and dark chocolate, dancing harmoniously on the palate, while subtle undertones of roasted chestnuts, prunes and hints of vanilla add depth and intrigue.
Appearance: A pitch black beer with a chestnut brown head.
Nose: Inviting aromas of freshly baked rye bread are mingling with hints of toasted coconut and dark caramel.
Malts: Pilsner zero, munich light, rye malt, chocolate rye, red rye crystal, caramel 150, Carafa special T-3
Hops: Columbus, Azacca

Bottled, thx to someone for sharing! Black body, small off-white head. Dried fruit and cocoa dominate the lovely aroma. Light taste, cocoa, some fruity touches, rye, ending roasty. A tasty porter from these guys, as expected!

Black beer, thin and bubbly brown head. Rich malty aroma with a little of the rye. Rye is big in the flavour too, along with lots of toasty malt, a little dark chocolate, a little aniseed. Rich, with boozy warmth. Perhaps a touch of smoke. The rye is there throughout, giving a straightforward but punchy stout something a little extra. It's very nice indeed.
