  Porter - Imperial Baltic Special

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.

On tap at Vitamin B, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with spices, particularly the cardamom, with the coconut and vanilla further subdued. Flavour is rich, with loads of coconut and cardamom upfront, with a silky vanilla base. Creamy, rich palate that is perfectly balanced. Wonderful brew.

0.33 l bottle from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with Marko and Anna God. Black. Blueberry yoghurt, vanilla, light spices, light chocolate. Baby coconut. Cardamom definitely present. All the spices are nicely balanced. Flavour is vanilla and blueberry ice-cream, finished with a dry roasty touch. Medium body. Baltic porter?

Bottle at home, from Malt Attacks, 16th March 18. Pours black and viscous. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, coconut. Taste is bounty bar, dark chocolate, coconut, not sure on the cardamom, but maybe some spice. It's intense, viscous, fun, interesting and tasty.

Bottle. Color: Almost black, light brown head. Taste: Roasted malt, notes of vanilla, hints of coconut, dark chocolate. Smooth under medium sweet, lightly bitter with a pretty sharp spicy (cardamom?) palate. Above medium body, just below average carbonation. Pretty long lasting bittery finish with vanilla and cocoa hints.
