SIXPENCE

BALTIC PORTER

DESCRIPTION

We can thank the fall of the Soviets for the Baltic Porter’s return to the West. Reflecting the malty character of original British Porters and the strong, sweet character of Russian Imperial Stouts, this is a nice Fall drinking beer that serves as a bridge between a Brown Ale and a Stout: more rich than a brown and not as full as a stout. Medium bodied and smooth with flavors of dark chocolate and roasted malts.
