Style Information |
The Baltic Porter is brewed with lager yeast, which gives a smooth cold-fermented beer with few of the ale characters. Color should be black to very dark red-brown. Aroma has caramel sugars, chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Also, a slight smokiness may also be present. Taste should not have a strong bitterness from either hops or roasted malts. Alcohol is likely notable in the taste. A light cocoa powder, fruity and possibly a slight smoky flavor may also be notable. Hops should be minimal all around, in both aroma and taste. Feel should be medium to full, with a slight sweetness in the lingering aftertaste. ABV should range from 7% to 9% or higher. IBUs should range from 30 to 40. From Wikipedia: "A version of porter which is brewed in Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden. It has a higher alcohol content than ordinary porters... Export ales (see Russian Imperial Stout) introduced from Britain in the 18th century were influenced by regional styles when they began to be produced locally. While it was once a top-fermenting ("ale-style") beer, it is now mostly brewed as a lager-style bottom-fermenting beer in Slavic and Baltic breweries." |
