Milwaukee Brewing Baltic Porter
Another one brought back from dairyland, and my first from this brewery.
Milwaukee Brewing Company, Baltic Porter, Barrel-aged Lager
Murky brown body, considerable floating particles…how'd they get in there, what are they doing? slim head, starts big, gets down to nothing', a dull brown.
Aroma, smoky and oaky. Even-tempered, malty, hints of cocoa.
Taste: Chocolatey, smokey malt, little hints of fruit. Carbonation is brisk, and the flavor is turning slightly sour. I'm not sure what I think of this one. Flavor isn't winning me over, it's lacking…something. I want to like it, I wish I did, really, just not doing anything for me.
I conferred with opinions on BeerAdvocate, and I'm not alone in down-thumbing this one. Hopefully my next experiences with Milwaukee are better.
