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!

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with late awakening, small, thick, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Roasty, chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, dark cocoa, hints of dark rye bread, a minimally smoky and ashy touch. Taste is bitter, roasty, minimally ashy, dark malty, slightly alcoholic. Viscous texture, smooth and soft palate, soft to flat carbonation; warming, bitter alcoholic finish. Unbalanced, boozy, not overly aromatic - quite a disappointment.

23/XII/19 - 33cl bottle @ ElManana+1’s, BB: 6/V/21 - (2019-2195) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing the bottle!
Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige to brown head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of roasted malts, grains, cow fodder, charcoal. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very roasted, dark chocolate, bitter, some charcoal, little malty. Aftertaste: quite a lot of alcohol, malty notes, very bitter and dry, nice stuff, very decent imperial baltic porter!
Paired with home made chocolate mousse, good combo!

No jestem pod wrazeniem, kolejny raz nie zawiodłem się po piwach 3 kumpli. Czarna smolista maz, geste oleiste i tłuste niczym ropa naftowa, ciemno brazowa piana 2 fazowa pierwsza polowa o barwie brazu, a 2 ta gorna o barwie cremy z wloskiego espresso. Srednio trwala a zapach czekolady, wykwintnych pralinek, w smaku koniakowe praliny, beczułki, dobry deser doprawiony chilli, brownie, snickersy i inne czekoladowe wyroby. Bardzo wyraziste i treściwe, alko ukryte, po przelknieciu tej goracej czekolady do picia pojawia się fajna i dość mocna goryczka, utrzymujaca się na podniebieniu jakiś czas. Dla mnie do wysokiej jakości RIS, zdecydowanie bliżej do tego stylu niż portera bałtyckiego. Na koniec o parowaniu, deska sera dojrzewającego oraz wloski Sudtiroler Speck Alto Adige IGP oblednie pasowalo, zwłaszcza do tego specka.

Bottle from Vršovická Galerie Piva, shared with Hrabren, Ogi & Veceo. Black body, almost no head. Pungent aroma, peanut and chocolates. Taste... sweetish, elegant, peanut, chocolate, light citric hops over the chocolate. Really, slightly too lean for the ABV but on the other hand slightly hot, but those are just details, this is excellent!
