Offset Bier Drawn To the Dark: BBA Baltic Porter
What the brewers say
“Triple-mashed Baltic porter lagered eight weeks; laid to rest in six-year bourbon barrels for 13 more months.”
What our panel thought
“Powerful aroma of prunes, ruby port, molten chocolate cake, and rum. Rich tastes of plum pudding, toffee, and sweet breads. Alcohol is very present, teetering on the edge of distraction. An enjoyable sipper with an equally entertaining aroma.”
What our editors thought
“Heavy dark-fruit aroma with a touch of roast and chocolate. Big and assertive in the flavor, with a strong sweetening alcohol note that buffers roast malt and hop bitterness.”
