This highly revered brew will go down in history as one of the first graduates of Green Flash's Genius Lab program into their front line. Marvel at its rich black appearance with bruleed edges and mocha-colored beer foam. Breathe in its coffee aroma and sweet malts, and savor its smooth, espresso, chocolate flavor. Don’t fight its gravitational pull. This bold, complex, java-centric Baltic Porter with Espresso is irresistible.
On to the Tasting Notes:
Upon initial pour this beer has a jet black hue with bruleed edges and a mocha beer foam. On the nose espresso roast with hints of sweet chocolate malts. So smooth on the palate with espresso roast and drying chocolate malt that provide an easy drinking texture. The candy sugar and lactose aid the body and flavor complexity with a mellow sweetness.
Food Pairing:
Pair this dark, delicious, espresso laden Baltic Porter with a few friends and your favorite dessert.
