Mikkeller From To

Baltic Porter

Mikkeller, Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark

I RATE THIS BEER: 95

RELEASE: November // THE ABV. 8.0% | IBU’s. ? // THE NOSE: Blueberry, Black Raspberry, Tar, Baked Sweet Potato, Daffodil // THE TASTE: Dill, Peppermint, Bay Leaf, Papaya, Mango, Black Licorice, Ash // THE BOTTOMLINE: Smooth and extremely herbaceous, this is an expansive and unique take on the traditional Baltic Porter. Behind the dark fruit and pollen laden nose sits an apothecary of flavors - proud, savory and sweet green shrubbery and the sprigs from a thousand complimentary roots and herbs. This is brewing as orchestrated alchemy and it has to be said is approaching perfection for my particularly earthy and herbal leaning palate. // THE BACKBONE: Star Anise, Clove, Cinnamon, Coriander Seeds, Pale, Smoked, Cara-Crystal, Brown and Chocolate Malts, Roasted Barley, Dark Cassonade Sugar, Amarillo, Saaz and Cascade Hops, Yeast // PRICE POINT: $20 | 1x 26oz bottle //
