Baltic Porter 5.3 º 25 IBU

Etyeki Sörmanufaktúra
Monyo Brewing Co.

Plum Noir is a decadent, dessert-leaning collaboration between Etyeki Sörmanufaktúra and Monyo Brewing Co. that reimagines the traditional Baltic Porter. The sensory profile is dominated by a lush, jammy addition of real plums that merges seamlessly with the base beer’s dark chocolate and molasses malt character. Aromas of Bourbon vanilla provide a creamy, ice cream-like sweetness, while tonka beans contribute intricate layers of almond, cinnamon, and dark tobacco. Despite a lower alcohol content for the style, it retains a velvety, substantial presence on the palate, finishing with a harmonious balance of dark fruit esters and smooth, spiced warmth perfect for slow sipping.

Appearance. Deep, dark brown to nearly opaque (SRM 28); features a thick, persistent, tan-colored head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; rich maltiness of dark chocolate and deep toast is layered with intense notes of sweet plum and prunes. Prominent Bourbon vanilla provides a creamy sweetness, supported by the complex almond and spicy wood character of tonka beans. No hop aroma; clean fermentation.

Taste. Rich, malty-sweet opening with flavors of molasses, cocoa, and toasted crust. The palate is quickly enveloped by a heavy dark fruit presence of plums and raisins. Mid-palate reveals vanilla and tonka bean spice, adding a confectionery complexity. Bitterness is medium-low, just enough to balance the sweetness. Finishes smooth and lingering with a dried fruit and spice aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation provides a mouth-filling quality without being heavy. Alcohol warmth is very subtle and well-integrated.
