Baltic Porter 10 º 25 IBU

Põhjala

This Imperial Baltic Porter offers a decadent sensory journey, celebrating Baltic Porter Day with a profile enhanced by Palo Santo wood. The experience begins with intense aromas of licorice, molasses, and dark chocolate, seamlessly interwoven with the wood's distinctive resinous, sandalwood, and minty nuances. On the palate, a rich malt sweetness delivers flavors of toffee and deep toast, balanced by a smooth, Schwarzbier-like roast and dark fruit esters of prunes and black currants. At 10% ABV, the beer provides a well-integrated, velvety warmth that carries the complex, woody spice and vinous character through a smooth, lingering finish.

Appearance. Opaque dark brown with deep mahogany highlights; features a thick, persistent, tan-colored head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of rich malt including molasses, licorice, and toasted nuts; complex alcohol and esters reminiscent of raisins and cherries, accented by the resinous, incense-like perfume of Palo Santo wood.

Taste. Rich malt-forward entry with toffee and dark chocolate; smooth, de-bittered roast flavor provides depth without burnt notes. Nuanced flavors of black currants and dried fruit are complemented by the exotic wood spice, finishing dryish with a hint of roasted coffee.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally smooth; medium-high carbonation provides a mouth-filling quality that prevents heaviness. Noticeable and deceptive alcohol warmth is well-aged and integrated.
