Porter - Baltic Regular

A re-imagination of our 2018 collaboration with big aLICe brewing. This transatlantic porter uses British grains and German yeast with American Willamette hops. Rich malty goodness jumps out of the glass like the waves of the Baltic Sea. The flavour is rich with a deep malt character that has a caramelly, chocolaty, nutty and molasses like complexity with a slight spice note from the added rye. With an inviting flavour profile of chocolate syrup, molasses, liquorice, and caramel backed up with a hint of roasted coffee and blackberry. The aroma is full of treacle, Belgian chocolate, plums, sultanas and roasted barley.

Can thanks to cgarvieuk. Appearance - deep brown to black. Tan head. Nose - malt loaf, chocolate cereal, ovaltine and marmite. Taste - chocolate coco pops. Malt loaf and burnt brown sugar. Palate - medium bodied, roasty middle and finish. Overall - good if a bit gnarly.

No idea where I bought this... would have just spotted the style. Aroma had yeasty liquorice and malty coffee. I need a new thesaurus to find the alternatives to dark and glossy. Tan head soon almost disappears. There's a tar and liquorice core with a molasses sweet streak. Caramel. Underlying malts and yeast. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Sticky. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. OK but verging on overly sweet and cheap cola-esque.
