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.

A black beer with a very beutiful chocolate brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of smoke. The flavor is sweet smokey, slightly sour, and with notes of chocolate and coffee. A really nice beer.

Bottled, thanks Rastacouere! Very black, no head. Lovely aroma of chocolate and grapefruit. Reasonably dry, full bodied, some moilasses and chocolate punch. Some bitterness. Complex, but confusing. Baltic porters are usually very bold, simple beers, this one shoots for finer details and complexity, and gets a bit lost somewhere on the way. An interesting experimental beer though.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of pineypower. Dark brown with a reddish hue and a small, light brown head. Roasted, slightly coffeeish nose. Medium body with rather sweet, roasted malt and a note of coffee without being overly burned. Subdued bitterness. Nice. 080707

Near black, low carbonation & head. Roast & chocolate aroma w/ nuts, toffee and faint alcohol. Firm body. Lots of alcohol presence in between which lies roast, chocolate, sweet cream and herbal hops.

Bottle, thanks to Dixen for sharing. Black coloured with a beige head. Aroma of prunes and liquorice. Flavour of prunes, liquorice and dried fruits.
