Cincinnati Beer Week 2013 Beer
Collaboration of local breweries
Brewed and bottled by: Rivertown Brewing Company
Baltic Porter
10.94% abv
I thought it was closer to 11%
Appearance: black body with a cola edge with a tan half
finger head
Aroma: dark fruit that reminds me of fig; mild-medium
roasted coffee; just a touch of toasted caramel; touch of mocha; hint of sour
mash
Flavors: nice dark fruits on the mid and aftertaste – raisin
and fig; medium coffee; just a touch of bitterness that reminds me of a 70%
dark chocolate bitterness; there is a tart note on the back and aftertaste; nothing
really stands out; lack character
Mouthfeel: medium body; mild carbonation; smooth feel; alcohol
does not stand out – just a little warmth; aftertaste seems short; lacks depth
To the Point: easy to drink for a 10.94 abv; nice tasting;
fun to review but nothing special when just sitting back and sipping; if I was
going to give it a grade I’d give it a B or B-
