Beer Review: Smoked Baltic Porter by Great Divide Brewing Co.
If you have not figured it out by now, Great Divide is on my list of favorite breweries. Coincidentally BBQ is one of my favorite dishes. When I saw this beer on the shelf I knew I needed to buy it because smoking a hunk of meat was in my near future.
Tasting Notes:
Poured from a 22oz bottle into a becker glass. I had a lot of foam issues on my pour and again on my second pour. I found this odd since most of the Beer Advocate reviewers reported lack of head as a problem. It had smoke and chocolate aromas, but not as smokey as I wanted. The smoke and chocolate carried through on the tongue with the addition of strong coffee. Moderate carbonation and a medium mouthfeel along with the intensity of the flavors make this a tough beer to order multiples of but solid to go with BBQ.
