GRAND BALTIC PORTER

Garrison Brewing, Halifax, Nova Scotia

*Canadian Gold 2009 Brewing Awards

• 9%ABV
• Mahogany coloured beer with a thick, khaki coloured head.
• Very dark black beer with only the slightest brown hues when held to the light.
• Very malty aroma, with some chocolate and mint aromas coming through, rich molasses as well.
• This beer is flavoured with dates, and they definitely come through on the taste.  This beer is very sweet, almost to a fault.  Very thick coating all of the mouths available real estate.
• Flavours linger, especially the sweetness, a coffee like bitterness and a burnt sweetness similar to toffee.
• Interesting beer, would make a nice after meal beer.
• Co-op Liquor is a great place to check if you’re looking for this one, they have an extensive selection of east coast brews.
