Põhjala Öö Imperial Baltic Porter (330ml)

Description

Style: Imperial Baltic Porter
Brewed by: Põhjala (Tallinn, Estonia)
ABV: 10.5%

An Imperial Baltic Porter as dark as the Estonian winter nights. Strong enough to keep you warm through the cold evenings.

Taste:
A rich body comes through at first. Initially the espresso-like acidity is balanced by a sweet taste of caramelised toffee. As your glass warms up you should expect to taste redcurrant, mixed with a dark chocolate, washed down with a slight alcoholic warmth.

Appearance:
Pitch black – as dark as the night sky, with an opaque brown head.

Nose:
A clean burnt sugar dominates, immediately giving way to rich dark fruits – plums, raisin, and fresh cranberries. Eventually, a roasted smokiness emerges, like a distant bonfire on the horizon.

Malts:
Pilsner Zero, Munich, Carafa II Special, Special B, Chocolate malt, Crystal 300, Demerara sugar

Hops:
Magnum, Northern brewer
