Vari — Baltic Porter with Asian Spices — Puhaste

Vari is the Baltic Porter crafted by Puhaste, a craft brewery in Tartu (Estonia). A beer enhanced by an elegant blend of Asian spices and toffee, creating an exotic harmony on the nose. On the palate, it reveals itself rich and enveloping, merging flavors of milk chocolate and caramel with hints of black coffee. The experience is completed with a persistent aftertaste where spices like cinnamon and cardamom play their warm notes. Silky texture, rich flavors, and a powerful aroma for this full-bodied Baltic Porter with great charm.

The Baltic Porter: the style of Northern Europe

The Baltic Porter is a style that originated in the 18th century for the markets of the Baltic Sea: more alcoholic and full-bodied than English Porter, fermented at low temperatures with lager yeasts. The result is a dark beer of great complexity, with the cleanliness of low fermentation and the depth of dark malts. Puhaste enriches it with Asian spices for an even more fascinating profile.
