Rich and smooth Baltic Porter brewed with coconut, vanilla, and cardamom.
Taste: The taste of a smooth and creamy vanilla milkshake combines with the chocolate malt character before the palate is flooded with oily coconut and sweet oats. Finally cardamon comes through, balanced by a delicate spiciness from the hops - the body transporting you to winter nights surrounded by family.

Minimal dark brown head soon left a small collar on an oily near black body. Big boozy aroma of caramel, dark fruits, demerara, malt & dark berries. Medium to full bodied, tingly on the palate & super smooth on the back with an oily feel. Strangely there's mint to the fore followed by, vanilla, heavy malt, demerara, dark berry, dark spirits, hints of roast & cardamon with a strong vanilla & mint aftertaste.

0.33l bottle. Pours black with a tan head dissipating almost instantly. Aroma of coconut, vanilla, chocolate, some spice. Taste is sweet, coconut, vanilla, chocolate, some spiciness coming from the cardamom but it's not strong, roast malt bitterness. Full bodied, smooth, creamy, fine carbonation.

From the bottle. Virtually black with a thin beige crown. Aroma of vanilla and coconut. Taste is bittersweet to sweet up front, slightly more sweet at the finish which is full of coconut and vanilla. Body is medium, quite oily, carbonation is soft. Nice but nothing exceptional.
