The Duck-Rabbit Baltic Porter

Brewed by The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery
Style: Baltic Porter
Farmville, North Carolina USA

A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of soy sauce, roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet and very roasted, which adds a bit of acidity, but also with notes of chocolate, and hints of smoked malt. The alcohol burns on the tongue. Thanks to Engelsmann for sharing this one.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours black and opaque with a creamy, light brown head. Fat aroma of roasted malt and alcohol. Medium body, fruity with lightly tart AND sweet vanilla notes, chocolate and roasted malt. Very soft mouthfeel and a subdued bitterness. 070907

Bottled, thanks Immy! Very black, minimal brown head. Aroma of coffee and plums. Medium sweet with concentrated flavour of toffee, coffee, citrus and tar. The mouthfeel is compact, and the flavours are really intense and concentrated. I find notes of chocoalte pudding and blackberries. salty finish. More refined than the traditional rather crude examples of the style. Well worth it’s high rating!
