Monteith's Baltic Porter is a captivating porter that takes you on a journey of complex flavors. This dark, robust beer boasts a soothing, velvety texture with a soft licorice nose that adds a spicy lift to the rich malt base. On the palate, you'll find a gentle barley note that leans towards sweetness initially, before rounding out into a lovely, dry malt biscuit finish. Notably, this porter eschews heavy chocolate or grassy hop characters, instead showcasing a harmonious blend of malt and spice, with a subtle touch of sherry contributing an air of finesse. Monteith's Baltic Porter is a versatile companion, pairing equally well with a crusty bread and aged cheddar, as it does with Chinese dishes featuring five-spice or star anise.
