It ain’t easy with a Baltic Porter, and especially not with its imperial version. The stakes are high and it comes down to this: Go big or go home. This beer HAS TO BE good, otherwise its existence is pointless.
Super strong starting extract (26° Plato),loads of chocolatey and burnt malt, plenty of warming up alcohol, distinctive coffee, chocolate, nuts, prunes flavours. And above all, matching bitterness, one that doesn’t overwhelm, but rather encompasses all flavours beautifully.
Be sure to try our barrel aged Ragnars – Floki, Björn and Ivar – as well!
Before drinking, don’t forget to check who Ragnar was!

Bottle at home, nr 1900! Pours jet black, no head. Nose is coffee, earthy notes, some hops, sweet booze. In taste it's sweet malty and boozy first, and then takes an unexpected turn: hops kick in fairl powerfully with some additional coffee and earthy character. Long lasting bitter finish, medium to heavy body and soft carbonation. More of an imperial stout-black IPA hybrid, especially tastewise, but a decent beer nevertheless.

Аромат весьма сухой, много жженного солода, конечно на первым месте кофеек и зерна, немного кислого черного шоколада. Цвет черный, пенка супер тонкая и кофейная. Вкус такой же сухой, много кофе, немного кислинки, сразу много жженного солода и поэтому много зерен кофе и какао. Сильная кислинка при глотке. Послевкусие такое обычного портера, немного алкоголя, нотка хмеля, но в общем дохера солода. Ничего супер выдающегося, но просто хороший классический портер.

Un grand merci à Marek qui me permet de mieux connaître les bières polonaises. Ce porter est en tout cas surprenant sur ses arômes dont le café, le chocolat et la noisette sont cachés par des arômes d'herbes et de zest d'agrumes qui donnent un cocktail très particulier. Sur le visuel nous sommes sur une robe noire sans mousse ni effervescence. Le nez est sur le café et le chocolat avec un petit côté charbon. Ce n'est pas très intense, mais c'est correct. A la dégustation, cela est plus particulier avec les arômes de café et chocolat qui ne sont réellement dominant et où arrive noisette, herbes, zest d'agrumes pour un cocktail surprenant. La texture est moyennement dense. L'alcool à 10,7 % se ressent peu avec une sucrosité trop poussée. A noter une astringence bien présente. La corpulence est quant à elle moyenne, mais la longueur est plutôt bonne. Pas réellement convaincu.

330ml bottle, 10.7 % abv, shared with Finn at Lipowa. Coal black body, some bubbles on the surface, scattered lacing. Inviting on the nose with dark chocolate malts, roasted. Rich dark malt-forward taste profile with grain chocolate, cocoa and a bite of liquorice. Coffee note to a smoothly roasted finish. Lingering sipper. Good drinking. (Kraków, 16.10.2024).
