With the guys from La Débauche we wanted to brew “something dark, but drinkable” – now we’re not quite sure what to call it. Grave Pact is too roasted to be traditional Czech tmavé výčepní, it is bottom-fermented, so it can’t be a stout and we thus thought about making up a style called Session Baltic Porter. Either way, styles don’t matter. It is simply a very dark 11-plato lager with a hefty dose of rye for more fullness and some Sabro for aroma. It’s not even 4 % ABV, but offers more sensory inputs than many beers from higher weight categories. Dark chocolate, a touch of coffee, slight spiciness, woodiness, coconut, hefty bitterness – and you can drink it from a big mug!
