Funky Fluid Leviathan Rye Whiskey Barrel Aged

Leave a comment

Brewery: Funky Fluid
Country: Poland
ABV: 11%
Style: Porter – Baltic
Other Notes: Rye whiskey barrel aged coconut & chocolate Imperial Rye Baltic Porter

Brewer Description: (from bottle) We’ve put Leviathan, our Imperial Rye Baltic Porter with coconut and cocoa nibs, into Jim Bean Rye whiskey barrels. The outcome: exceptionally full of flavour chocolate monster, but smoother around the edges, with the pronounced peppery character typical of rye whiskey barrels.

My rating: 4-
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.05
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.9

Intro: A 330ml gold/dark yellow waxed bottle, with a best before date of 30th December 2023. Poured into a snifter glass.
Appearance: A dark cola brown colour with absolutely no head and no lacing.
Aroma: Chocolate, coconut flakes, whiskey, oak, with peppery spice notes.
Taste: Sweet, chocolate, roasty, coconut, vanilla, whiskey, oak, and a peppery spicy finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: While the aroma and flavours were on the whole enjoyable, it was a touch too sweet for me, even as a sipper.

Stu Mostów WRCLW Baltic Porter Salted Caramel Nitro

Leave a comment

Brewery: Browar Stu Mostów
Country: Poland
ABV: 9.1%
Style: Porter – Baltic
Other Notes: 40 IBUs

Brewer Description: (from website) The intense, malty aroma of the Baltic Porter extractive base is enhanced by the addition of caramelised sugar in the form of roasted caramel and non-iodised rock salt. In this way, we have created an exceptionally delicious and aromatic combination, which is bound into a dessert-like whole by the velvety texture obtained through nitrogen saturation!

My beeradvocate.com rating: 4
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.9

Intro: A 330ml bottle, with a best before date of 23rd December 2023. Poured into a snifter glass.
Appearance: Dark dark brown to black in colour with a thin tanned head that dissipated quickly, but left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Roasted malt, chocolate, sponge cake, caramel, brown sugar, honey.
Taste: Sweet, sweet malt, chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, cream.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium to full bodied, with soft carbonation.
Overall: Very nice aroma, but for the taste, with ‘salted caramel’ in the name, I get no salt at all, which was unfortunate, as it would have helped balanced out the sweetness, that I felt was a little strong.
