This Imperial Baltic Porter presents a decadent, deeply layered sensory experience, elevating the traditional style with a bold 10% ABV. The profile is anchored by a rich maltiness offering notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and toasted nuts. The addition of chicory root coffee introduces a unique earthy, herbal bitterness that complements the natural roasted character without veering into burnt territory. Complex esters of plum and raisin weave through the mid-palate, while a smooth, warming alcohol presence provides substantial structure. It finishes with a refined balance of lingering dark fruit and a clean, earthy coffee essence, characteristic of a sophisticated Baltic Porter.
Appearance.Opaque dark brown to near-black with deep mahogany highlights at the edges. Features a thick, persistent, tan-colored head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity; dominant rich maltiness featuring notes of dark chocolate, toffee, and deep toasted bread. The chicory root coffee adds an earthy, nutty, and slightly spicy coffee layer. Moderate esters reminiscent of prunes, raisins, and black cherries. No hop aroma. Clean fermentation with a noticeable but well-integrated Port-like alcohol warmth.
Taste.Initial impression is malty-sweet, quickly transitioning to complex layers of dark malt, molasses, and licorice. The chicory root provides a unique earthy bitterness that parallels the smooth, moderate roasted malt flavor. Nuanced flavors of dried currants and raisins emerge in the mid-palate. Low hop bitterness; balance is achieved through roast and alcohol. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering aftertaste of roasted coffee and dark fruit.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and remarkably smooth. Medium carbonation provides a mouth-filling texture that prevents the high gravity from feeling heavy. Noticeable alcohol warmth is smooth and well-aged. Very low astringency.

" Aroma caratterizzato da note di pane nero, zucchero bruciato e melassa che saltano all'occhio con liquirizia, umami e un accenno di funghi di bosco. Al gusto note di malto dolce accompagnate da un carattere intenso di tabacco da pipa e fiori di ciliegio. Segue un carattere di tostatura deciso della radice di cicoria, con note di mentolo, sentori erbacei di luppolo e umami. Da gustare sotto le stelle dopo una serata di sauna . "
