Commercial Description:
Baltus, a hybrid style, is a top-fermented beer made with English floor malts, malted wheat and noble hops. A classic European yeast strain with a subtle yet discernable estery profile is employed. A warmer fermentation, followed by a period of cold conditioning serves to develop and refine this complex beer.

Bottle at Eulogy: Poured a dark amber color with a nice sized head. The aroma was strong malts and yeast. The flavor was sweet and slightly sour. Overall, for a beer that is probably going on two years old, it is still holding its flavor and is enjoyable to drink. Glad I got to try this.

<b>Bottle 50cl.</b><br />Unclear medium amber color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, vintage, prune, cask wood, moderate alcohol. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light alcoholic. &#40;220808&#41;

Bottle, i must have got the most infected bottle of all time. This ruby brown bottle was gushing when opened by the bartender at eulogy. Aroma is salt, oxidization, wet paper, and funk. Flavor, i cant even tell you 2 sips before i had to drain pour dam i was excited about this one too, anyone got a good bottle to share? seriously had consistency of almost ready jello.

Courtesy SoLan. Caramel color with a thin, sparse off-white head. Mild sweet dark fruit on the aroma, some grain. General sweetness on the taste, dark fruits again, but not much of a Belgian character to it really. Pretty basic.

&#40;Bottle 35,5 cl&#41; Courtesy of boboski. Pours a very cloudy reddish with a small rough off-white head. Aroma has overripe fruits and some alcohol. Medium-bodied, sweetish overripe fruitiness and some oxidization. A little low in carbonation. Has a light underlying acidity. 220808

Bottle, shared by papsoe. It pours a hazy brown body under a quite small beige head. The beer is probably past it’s prime, but still in good condition, even though there’s evident oxidation in both aroma and flavor. It has a malty, roasted aroma and flavor with dried fruits and caramel. A little sourish touch towards the finish, which is malty and caramel tasting. Full to medium body and pleasant level of carbonation. A nice beer that is hard to categorize. &#40;080822&#41;
