The Cherry Baltic Porter is no stranger in my house.  I have a had a pretty good relationship with this beer for a few years now.  It’s a shame I haven’t reviewed this one until now, but that’s the way the beer pours sometimes.

This beer just makes me warm looking at the bottle.  It has a dark cherry red label with a lovely lady that stares into your heart. Yeah, your heart! Because, I love this one.

No, this is not the beer I am taking camping, this is not the beer next to me at the pool, and no this is not the beer I like to sip on at lunch.  This is the beer I like to savor until Friday night with a good movie and a bucket of popcorn.  This beer makes me want to take sloooooow sips, and enjoy the moment.

Check out the specs:

This Imperial Porter was aged with montmorency cherries to create a beer rich enough to be served as dessert.  It’s aroma is a complex combination of alcohol, dried fruits, and milk chocolate.  Its flavor is reminiscent of a chocolate cherry cordial.  It ends with a cherry tartness laced with cinammon graham cracker spiciness.
