A Baltic Porter aged for over 12 months in red wine barrels originating from the Bordeaux region.
A complex journey of chocolate, coffee, red fruit, light smoke and hints of oak.

Can from Eltham Wines. Black pour with a tan head. Nose is sweet tobacco, blackberry jam, red grapes, apple & blackcurrant pie. Taste is jammy dark fruits, notes of red wine, morelllo cherry. Jammy, fruity & inevitably winey finish. Definitely not a baltic porter, leans more towards an imperial Flanders red.

Black, small beige head. Red wine and berry aroma, barrel, nuts. Red wine flavour, tannic, dark berries. Slightly sour, sweet. Really a lot of sweet, oxidised red wine. Label says Barrel Aged Baltic Porter, but the red wine ageing just killed everything.
