Baltic Porter 9 º

Dry & Bitter Brewing Company
Fanø Bryghus

Bowltic Porter is a robust Baltic Porter that exudes a sophisticated blend of deep malt richness and dark fruit complexity. A collaborative effort with Fanø Bryghus, it leads with a lush, velvety profile of caramel and toasted nuts, transitioning into a multi-layered sweetness reminiscent of raisins and prunes. The 9% ABV provides a smooth, integrated warmth that complements the lightly roasted malt notes without veering into burnt or acrid territory. Its character mirrors the classic style, offering a clean fermentation profile that allows the nuances of dark chocolate and molasses to linger gracefully on the palate through a dryish, satisfying finish.

Appearance. Opaque dark brown with reddish-copper highlights (25-30 SRM). Features a thick, persistent, tan-colored head with good lacing.

Aroma. High intensity rich maltiness with prominent notes of caramel, toffee, and licorice. Features complex dark fruit esters of raisins, prunes, and cherries, with deep toast and molasses accents. Clean fermentation profile with no hop aroma.

Taste. Rich malt-forward initial impression with a complex blend of deep caramel, nutty toffee, and molasses. Smooth, Schwarzbier-like roasted flavors of coffee and dark chocolate emerge without being burnt. Balanced by a medium-low bitterness, it finishes dryish with lingering hints of currants and dark dried fruit. Hop flavor is absent to very low.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and smooth with a creamy texture. Moderate to medium-high carbonation makes it mouth-filling. Noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth without being sharp or hot.
