Dive into the depths of the Bourbon Barrel Baltic Porter from Garage Project. This robust porter hails from the heart of Wellington, New Zealand, boasting a remarkable 13.0% ABV. Prepare your senses for a rich, decadent aroma of dark chocolate, molasses, and coffee, with subtle hints of bourbon and oaky vanilla. The toasted marshmallow and cinnamon notes add a touch of warmth and complexity. The flavor profile is equally captivating, with a full-bodied, malty character that showcases roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and caramel. The bourbon barrel aging imparts a delightful balance of vanilla, oak, and a hint of spice. The bitterness from the hops and roastiness provides a sturdy backbone, while the slightly sweet finish lingers pleasantly on the palate. Thick and viscous, this porter offers a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, complemented by a moderate carbonation. The pitch-black color and dense, frothy tan head create an inviting visual appeal, with moderate lacing that clings to the glass. Whether you're pairing it with dark chocolate desserts, roasted meats, blue cheeses, or rich stews and casseroles, the Bourbon Barrel Baltic Porter from Garage Project is sure to captivate your senses and leave a lasting impression.
