Inspired by a classic Baltic porter (itself a 19th century reinterpretation of a traditional British style), Zmrok packs a rich and complex malt character, delivering subtle notes of raisin, prune and caramel. Restrained hops and medium high carbonation place this in the delicious intersection between a classic brown porter and a schwarzbier.

Can. Very confusing write up - is it supposed to be a Baltic porter, classic porter or Schwarzbier? Pours dark brown beige head. Aroma of dark malts, caramel, raisin, slight dustiness. Taste is moderately roasty with a fruity raisin and sultana but not much of a finish to it. Its light to medium bodied but reasonably slick. It grew on me, quite easy to drink.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy peat brown pour with a thick beige head; roasted malt aroma; thin roasted grain body; and a dry toasty finish. Perhaps “inspired” by a Baltic Porter, but turning out more like a dark lager.
