Winterfest, 2013. Something went wrong here. I am used to the Herkimer bringing outstanding beers to Winterfest, like their smoked doppelbock, or the triple bock. This year, they put out no effort at all. This thin and watery Baltic porter has some flavor of roasted grain but that is it. Light, no complexity, and hardly any flavor at all. Baltic Porter is a style I look for but this is a bad attempt, and I know these guys can do better.
