Baltic Porter
Porters of the late 1700's were quite strong compared to todays
standards, easily surpassing 7% alcohol by volume. Some brewers made
a stronger, more robust version, to be shipped across the North Sea,
dubbed a Baltic Porter. In general, the styles dark brown color
covered up cloudiness and the smoky/roasted brown malts and bitter
tastes masked brewing imperfections. The addition of stale ale also
lent a pleasant acidic flavor to the style, which made it quite
popular. These issues were quite important given that most breweries
were getting away from pub brewing and opening up breweries that
could ship beer across the world. ABV 7.0-10.0%
