ONE Ship of Fools Baltic Porter

ONE Ship of Fools Baltic Porter.
6.5 % ABV. Packaged 1/29.
One Fermentery and Taproom, Minneapolis, MN.

Dark brown, edging on black, completely opaque, slim brownish head.

In the nose: Coffee, cocoa, caramel, nuts. Slight sweetness, rich maltiness. Quite nice.

In the mouth: Slides smooth onto the palate, creamy and delightful. Some caramel, cocoa, a bit nougaty. Medium bodied, easy drinking. This one is lower in alcohol than I expect from a Baltic Porter. They're usually 7 % or higher, but I don't mind if it's a touch less than that, not when it's this nice. Sweetness is kept in check, held at bay by a modicum of hops.

I like this one and this ONE. I'll be back for more.

Dark chocolate and roasted malt with subtle hop spice
