Liquid Mechanics Brewing Company One Toke Over the Line
What the brewers say
“This Baltic-style porter is a balance of chocolate, caramel, smoke, roast.”
What our panel thought
“Herbaceous nose, lightly smoky, with charred bread, hint of chocolate, vanilla maltiness. Flavor has a nice caramel-toffee backbone, supporting moderate roast, leaning toward chocolate and slightly acrid coffee. Low smoky notes. Velvety smooth mouthfeel.”
What our editors thought
“Fruity notes push ahead of smoke in the nose. A rich, sweetish body backed by sharper coffee notes adds a clever structure that doesn’t overpower. Lingering grape notes.”
