Porter - Imperial Baltic Winter|

You’re holding an original, boundary-pushing lager. This is a big Baltic Porter that might remind you of an Imperial Stout with noticeable sweetness, balanced by roasted malt and hop bitterness. A lengthy conditioning creates a smooth, chocolaty mouthfeel enhanced by brown sugar.

Bottle at home. Aroma is roasted malt, oats, dark chocolate, liquorice, coffee, cocoa, touch of raisins. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a roasty bitter finish. Body is medium to full. Very rich Porter, potent roasty chocolate coffee and liquorice aroma.

Aroma is plums, amarena, molasses, brown sugar, oak, some smoke, a bit fatty. Taste is sweetish chocolate syrup with some licorice, some nut oils in the finish. A bit spicy. Yeah a bit unbalanced but I like it.
