Imperial Baltic Porter 7.0 vol% and 15 IBU Imperial Baltic Porter Is among one of the richest in terms of flavor and alcohol in the brewing world. This style also has a fascinating history. Imperial Porters was originally brewed by the major porter brewers as an “extra stout” or porter for export to the Baltic countries and Russia from the late 18th century onward. For making the beer “strong” enough to survive the long shipping and the cold climate, the alcohol content was raised up to more than 10%. It gained its title “Imperial” as a drink supplied to the Russian imperial court of Czarina Catherine the Great, which she has ordered repeatedly very large quantities for her own drinking and that of her court. This beer drifted from his original Ale style and found a place in the Bottom fermented Lagers. The cold fermentation temperature and the lager yeast clean the overall body of the beer, giving more space to the roasted, dark chocolate flavor. Our interpretation of this beer style presents herself as black with light brown foam. The clean fermentation with bottom fermenting yeast and a long and cold maturation, allowed the dark malt flavor of chocolate, coffee and liquorish to be the main protagonists. The high alcohol percentage is smoothened by a high residual sugar, leading to a light but fulfilling body. The addition of orange skin in cold infusion gives refreshing citrus background. Best to drink with lamb or gamy meet and anytime you need to feel fancy like the Russian Empress.
