Return of the Butcher is a fierce evolution of Kompaan’s original Foreign Legionair, “Boris the Butcher.” While Boris was a rich and smoky Baltic Porter with a balanced bitterness, Return of the Butcher takes a bold, hoppy twist on this classic style.
Pouring deep black beneath a creamy tan head, Return of the Butcher delivers intense piney hop aromas that lead the way, with subtle hints of dark chocolate and roasted coffee emerging in the background. On the palate, the hops shine brightly, offering a robust and dynamic character that adds a unique twist to the familiar Baltic Porter base.
This isn’t just a revival; it’s a transformation that takes the legendary profile of Boris and elevates it with a hoppy edge. For those looking to explore a darker, more adventurous side of Kompaan’s lineup, Return of the Butcher is an unforgettable choice.
Hops: Hallertau Magnum, Galaxy
Malts: Munich, Oats, Carafa III, Roasted Barley
