I have to admit I haven't had this beer yet but as I write this it has 172 ratings and a rating of 100% on Rate Beer.
Several YouTube reviews I've watched all called it an amazing beer.

It basically an American style imperial stout brewed with a lager yeast in Poland so it difficult to find a lot about it. :confused:

My polish friend is going home in a few months and she promises she will hunt down a few bottles for me and I should probably wait until it try it before I try to clone it but I thought I would start the ball rolling. :drunk:

I found a good description of all the ingredients but I need to figure out the ratios:

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A beer in Imperial Baltic Porter style. Contains: Weyermann malt: Munich Type I malt, Pilsen malt, diastatic barley malt, Vienna malt, Caramunich Type III, Caraaroma, Carafa Special Type I, soda extract, sugar.

A Baltic Porter – a dark and strong lager beer – The National Brewing Treasure of Poland. In the classic version with a gravity of about 20 Plato is successfully brewed by several Polish breweries. As PINTA we appreciate the values of Baltic Porter, but as usual we make a one step further. We present our dark giant of malt and hops.

Any comments?
Should I be dry hopping too?
Maybe it's better to leave out the whirlpool and add all hops apart from the nuggets at 30 min.
I really need to get my hands on a few bottles of this stuff to get a feel for it.


Thanks!
