Care of @scotchfullyyours, Dan ends the night with a Beer Tree Brew Lunar Guidance, an often not produced baltic porter.

STYLE: Baltic Porter
ABV: 8.5%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)

Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd.

Super, deep, dark brown with a tan/light brown, large-bubbled head.

Caramel leads, followed by a vinous and dark fruit note, and then molasses.

Dark fruit, dried dates/figs, molasses, and a roasty element behind all of it. This develops with complexity as it warms up.

Medium to strong body with soft carbonation and a supple mouthfeel.

I see baltic porters even more rarely than standard or robust porters. This was an amazing nightcap, but beef stew, braised ribs, and slow cooked meals would sing with this for sure. See Episode #394: Lily’s Elixir or the official website for more information on Baltic Porter Day.

Thanks again to @scotchfullyyours AKA Doug Zeigler (Speakeasy Conversations, Mortal Content, The Cult Bar) for sharing!

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
