Komes Raspberry Porter 16.9 oz bottle Brewed by: Browar FortunaCountry: PolandStyle: Baltic PorterABV (Alcohol by Volume): 8.5%BeerAdvocate.com rating: 90 Komes Raspberry Porter is a multi-dimensional bottom-fermented beer. At the maturing stage, it is enriched with raspberry juice, Madagascar vanilla and Indian chili peppers. It offers a unique combination of sweetness from the porter and vanilla and fruity notes of raspberries with a slightly spicy finish. Despite its strength, the beer is extremely drinkable and reminiscent of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Over time in the bottle, it changes its profile to increasingly mild when the notes of the roasted malts transform into dark fruits, reinforcing the beer’s fruity aspect. Serving Suggestion Rich, hearty and sweet foods. Beef stew, pierogis. Mature cheese, dark chocolate. Brewery Information: Browar Fortuna still brews beer in a way very similar to how it was produced back in the 19th century. It is among a dozen or so breweries in Europe where traditional, open fermentation vats are used. When yeast is added, the beer ferments as nature intended, without being subjected to pressure or temperature. This makes the yeast happier as it is not distressed and has the ideal conditions for growth. The result is a unique, fresh flavor and a rich aroma. Their production philosophy is based on natural ingredients of top quality and artisan production methods like traditional, unhurried open fermentation. It takes the highest quality ingredients as well as the brewers’ art and involvement, topped with valuable time to offer unique beer.
