Dark and velvety Baltic porter with loads of hazelnuts, once known to have grown in just about every Baltic forest. The creamy base of this beer is achieved with roasted caramel and chocolate malts.

That creamy, velvety mouthfeel is exactly what I look for in a dark beer, and the hazelnuts come through beautifully without being too sweet. Poured it for a friend who usually skips porters and he finished the glass.
The roasted caramel and chocolate malts give this such a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel that the hazelnuts almost taste fresh-cracked. Poured it for a friend who doesn't usually like dark beer and she finished the glass. Definitely ordering another round of these.
The hazelnut flavor really shines through the roasted chocolate malt—it’s creamy and dark without being heavy. I opened this on a cold night and the velvety body made it feel like dessert in a glass.
