Utenos Porter

Brewed by Utenos (Baltic Beverages Holding - Carlsberg)
Style: Baltic Porter
Utena, Lithuania

A red-brown beer wit a disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries, while the flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol and chocolate on a dry background.

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark, orangey brown with a fine, creamy, yellowish head. Aroma of roasted malt. Fairly full body with notes of hard roasted malt, some light caramel and an alcoholic finish. OK as such, but really just a strong Dunkel. 280706

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown/deep amber with a dense orange/tan head. Aroma is malty and dried fruity. Flavour holds a chocolate to a roasted malt base. Lingering fruity note on top. Ends with a smooth chocolate and light acidic note into the finish.

Dark red-brown. Fruity and malty. A good example of bottom fermented Baltic Style Porter. Less overwhelming and alcoholic than some Polish porters.

Bottle. Dark red-brown with a nice fast-disappearing bubbly beige head. Sweet malty aroma with a hint of alcohol and some chocolate. Sweetness, liquorice, coffee, chocolate and dark fruits in the taste. Quite a dry finish.

Bottle, 6.8%. Fruity, vinous aroma. Nicely roasted flavour, creamy and vinous. Some port. Barley bitterness, but hidden by alcohol. Could have done with a lot less fruit.

Bottled. Darkish ruby red colour, big beige creamy head. Aroma of plums, syrup and caramel. Some weak alcohol also noteable. Flavour is smoked caramel malts, with smoke/ashes in the finish and aftertaste. Alcohol completely hidden in the flavour. Once it gets a bit warmer, the flavour get some tarry notes also to the smoke/ashes. Good Baltic porter in my opinion, though the aroma was a bit more like a sweet dunkel. The palate is great, though a bit sticky after a while.

Bottle. Clear brown coloured with a beige head. Light roasted aroma of cocoa and chocolate with notes of caramel and dried fruits. Light roasted flavour with notes of cocoa and dried fruits. A bit watery.
