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.

Pours opaque black with small tan head that dissipates quickly. Sweet aroma is a blend of chocolate malts and fruits. Incredibly full-bodied with flavors of chocolate, raisins, prunes, and some molasses. Thick and creamy texture really sticks to your tongue and makes the flavor last. Very nice brew.

Bottle, brewtopia. Pitch black, tan head, nice looking body. Rich alcoholic coffee aroma is smooth. Great body with low carbonation. Smooth and silky. Clean clear and lovey brew, thank you whoever brought this.

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.

05 vintage. Shared via TheRealBastard. Pour is midnight black with small brown head. Aromas strong of coffee, roasted malt, and rasins. Flavor is very mellow with malt, dark fruits, and a lasting coffee flavor in the finish. Much much better thank Victorys imitation of the real thing. Wonderful brew!
