Three months ago I began working up a Baltic Porter recipe since I'd never brewed one before. I'd been reading about Baltic Porters in my current issue of All About Beer, then found a couple of recipes that had won BoS awards at various contests and pulled from them. I specifically wanted to duplicate Polish Porters like Okocim and Zywiec. I tried Okocim beside Flying Dog's version and, while both were good, I preferred Okocim.
Well, I put this stuff on tap to carb up a couple of weeks ago and just tried it last Sunday. It really turned out very well. So well, that I may make it on a regular basis! I had three pints this weekend and had to force myself to move on to my other beers on tap. It has the Port and roast character I was looking for and it's pretty close to style. Maybe a bit more coffee flavor than some Baltic porters, but I like it. I really need to do a side-by side w/ Okocim and Zywiec.
