It seems like they used to be a little easier to find.  Well, I have had a few recently, and now I have an <em>Imperial<\/em> Baltic Porter, which has to be a step beyond.  The can has a minimalist but artistic look, with a shining full moon over a desert.  What could that have to do with porter?  Well, this one comes from Polish brewery Moon Lark and contains Ugandan vanilla.  Actually, I don&#8217;t know if Uganda has US Southwestern-like desert landscapes&#8230;I&#8217;m shamefully ignorant of African geography.  I&#8217;m pretty sure it&#8217;s not supposed to be Ceylon (or Sri Lanka), but maybe Poland has some rugged terrain that reminds one of Arizona.  Eh, probably not.  Must be somebody&#8217;s dreamscape.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC110437-e1702335655963-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1232\" style=\"width:401px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC110437-e1702335655963-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC110437-e1702335655963-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC110437-e1702335655963-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC110437-e1702335655963-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC110437-e1702335655963-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC110437-e1702335655963.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It pours out very calmly, little fizz or head, and kind of a red highlight to the blackness.  Although it&#8217;s not overpowering, there is definitely vanilla aroma there, perhaps a little more subtle than, say, Vanilla Coke.  The taste is a lovely mix of luxurious sweetness, vanilla, cocoa, the smooth feeling of a high quality hard candy.  I don&#8217;t get cinnamon right away, but it starts to come out after a couple of sips.  The texture is interesting; like I said, it&#8217;s glassy like a good candy, but obviously liquid, with a syrupy, mouth-coating feel.  It definitely is a fancy beer, with a fancy feel and nothing but deliciousness about it.  Maybe it isn&#8217;t specifically Christmas-y, but it&#8217;s a gift that anybody would love to find in their stocking.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC120440-e1702335721484-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1231\" style=\"width:305px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC120440-e1702335721484-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC120440-e1702335721484-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC120440-e1702335721484-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC120440-e1702335721484-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC120440-e1702335721484-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/PC120440-e1702335721484.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Supplier: M\u00e1s Que Cervezas<br>Price: \u20ac6.26<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since being denied on International Baltic Porter Day I&#8217;ve been on the lookout for them when I go beer shopping.
