“A Baltic Porter often has the malt flavors reminiscent of an English porter and the restrained roast of a schwarzbier, but with a higher OG and alcohol content than either. Very complex, with multi-layered malt and dark fruit flavors.”

Celebrate Baltic Porter Day with a local offering like Framinghammer from Jack’s Abby, The Countess at The tap in Haverhill and Polski a Polish Porter from Notch.
