Baltic Porter 6.5 º 25 IBU

Anderson’s Brewery

Estoni Porter is a sophisticated example of a Baltic Porter, utilizing bottom fermentation to achieve a remarkably clean and smooth profile. The sensory experience is defined by a substantial roast character that evokes notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and molasses without any burnt or acrid edges. Rich base malts contribute deep layers of caramel, toffee, and toasted nuts, while moderate esters of plums and raisins add a dark fruit complexity common to the style. This dark lager balances its initial malty sweetness with a dryish finish and a well-integrated alcohol presence, resulting in a deceptively drinkable and complex dark beer.

Appearance. Dark brown to opaque reddish-copper (SRM 25-30) with a thick, persistent, tan-colored head and excellent clarity when viewed against light.

Aroma. High intensity maltiness featuring deep toast, caramel, and toffee. Prominent dark fruit esters of prunes, raisins, and cherries are balanced by a clean fermentation profile and a hint of smooth, roasted coffee. No hop aroma is present.

Taste. Rich and complex malt flavors of molasses and nutty toffee transition into a prominent but smooth Schwarzbier-like roasted character. Light hints of black currants and dried fruits provide depth. Bitterness is medium-low, balancing the initial sweetness and leading into a dryish finish with a lingering aftertaste of mild licorice.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture and medium-high carbonation that provides a mouth-filling sensation. A light, well-aged alcohol warmth is noticeable but not sharp.
