Commercial Description:
A Baltic porter brewed in collaboration with Lew Bryson. This style is difficult to find outside of the Baltics. What a shame! The grist consists of lots of Munich malt and some chocolate and other specialty malts. A Bavarian lager yeast is used to create this. Dark and mysterious, subtle and well, it is called the Hammer. For those who care, Perkuno was the Baltic thunder god.

The color is black with big brown head that dissappates quickly. Aroma is of dark malts and raisins. Sweet dark malt taste with chocolate and bitterness to balance out. Very rich tasting beer. The alcohol is well concealed. I do sense the alcohol in the finish, along with sweetness and dark malt bitterness. I wish I could get this more often.

Dark brown with a thin tan head. The smell is dominated by dark fruits, dark chocolate and bitter cherries. Taste is full of chocolate, dates and cherries again with a slightly woody note and some acidity in the finish. You could tell it had a little age but this was still exceptional.

Bottle post closing. Pours a dark brown body with a tan head. Sweet malty, chocolate caramel. Notes of smoke and peat with a lightly sour mildly acidic finish. Coffee bitterness and toffee.

Pours black w/tan head. Aroma is dark fruit and coffee. Taste is all roasted malt with a touch of coffee. Thanks to WeeHeavySD for this one!
