Baltic Porter 6.5 º 17 IBU

A. Le Coq (Olvi)

A. Le Coq Porter presents a regal sensory profile rooted in its Imperial Extra Double Stout heritage, delivering a sophisticated Baltic Porter experience. The use of extra dark Caramel malt defines the character, yielding deep layers of toffee, molasses, and toasted nuts. A smooth, lager-like fermentation ensures a clean backdrop for complex notes of plum and raisin to emerge. While the appearance is a deep, mahogany-brown with a persistent tan head, the palate is velvety and rich. A balanced bitterness and a subtle hint of spicy hops in the finish provide a refined, lingering aftertaste that honors its historical Imperial Russian legacy.

Appearance. Dark brown with deep reddish-copper highlights and an opaque core; features a thick, persistent, tan-colored head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity malt-forward profile of toffee, nuts, and licorice; complex notes of dried plum and prune are evident, supported by a clean fermentation character without burnt or acidic notes.

Taste. Initial malty sweetness leading to deep molasses and toasted bread flavors; rich Caramel malt provides a decadent mid-palate with hints of black currant. A smooth, Schwarzbier-like roasted coffee character emerges toward the finish without being burnt. Low-medium bitterness balances the sweetness, ending in a dryish, clean aftertaste with light spicy hops.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture; medium-high carbonation makes the beer feel mouth-filling yet not heavy, featuring a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
