Anniversary No. 8 Baltic Porter is a commemorative offering from Toronto’s Left Field Brewery. This burly bruiser comes in 355mL cans and contains 9.5% alcohol. Priced at just over $3 a can, this seems like a gift to we the customers and I appreciate it!
A#8 is near black and pours with a short-lived tan head. It has a hefty roasted malt aroma, with brown sugar and sweet molasses notes. The flavour is sugary and boozy, with elements that brought to mind toasted marshmallows and vanilla, big malts, and, at the back end, a touch of bitterness.
This is a strong and slightly-too-sweet Baltic Porter. I’d have adjusted the balance nob from sweet toward bitter, but the strength and texture were right on the level.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
