Sunshine Brewery Baltic Porter
Baltic Porter 7 º
This Baltic Porter from Sunshine Brewery offers a sophisticated take on the strong dark lager style. The inclusion of Rye introduces a distinctive spicy complexity that weaves through a rich tapestry of chocolate and toffee. Expect a deep malt profile that avoids burnt bitterness, instead favoring smooth, decadent layers. The fermentation character is clean, allowing subtle red fruit esters to shine alongside the grain's inherent spice. At 7% ABV, it provides a gentle, well-integrated warmth. This beer balances the plush, mouth-filling richness of a Doppelbock with the refined, dark-malt elegance typical of a classic Baltic Porter.
Appearance. SRM: 22-30. Color is a deep, dark brown with reddish-copper highlights when held to the light. It features a thick, persistent tan-colored head with excellent lacing. Clarity is high, appearing brilliant in the light but opaque in the glass.
Aroma. High intensity malt-forward aroma featuring rich dark chocolate, toffee, and a notable spicy note from the rye grain. Moderate esters of red fruit, specifically cherry and plum, contribute a vinous quality. Clean lager fermentation with no perceptible hop aroma or diacetyl.
Taste. Initial impression is malty-sweet, quickly transitioning into complex layers of chocolate, molasses, and nutty toffee. The rye adds a peppery spice that balances the malt richness. Smooth, roasted flavors emerge toward the finish without any burnt or acrid notes. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough structure to keep the finish clean and dryish.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a very smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, which provides a mouth-filling sensation and prevents the beer from feeling heavy. A subtle, well-aged alcohol warmth is present but remains deceptively smooth.

Sunshine?s Baltic Porter was the star turn for me at the Long Lunch. Super smooth, with licks of chocolate and caramel balanced by a delicate spice from the use of rye malt. Just a little hint of bitterness balanced it out further. It went down so easily with the Middle Eastern lamb, with the sweet and spice pairing exceptionally with the food flavours. It?s as good an example as I can think of to showcase how beer can go with food so much better than wine. A red wine would have been OK with this dish, but probably would have been too acidic. The Baltic Porter worked with the food, rather than against it.
Sunshine Brewing?s exploration into darkness. Whether classic dark styles or something new on the event horizon, the sky really is the limit! Munich and layers of darker kilned malt provide a base of chocolate, molasses and toffee. A hint of gingerbread-like spice in the background from both the hops and small rye additions. This is a smooth and never bitter dark lager, boozy yet crushable.
