Welcome Back to the Eternal Hoptimist.
Today we are looking at another collab, this time between left handed giant and Box Car. I thought the cold weather was over but there has been a cold snap lately so I thought a Baltic porter might just be the medicine to see off the chill!
1. Name : Whistling Winds
2. Brewery: Left Handed Giant Brewing X Box Car
3. Hops: N/A
4. Grain : Malted Barley, Lager Yeast.
5. Aroma : Bountiful aromas of dried fruits, nuts with a hint of cocoa
6. Appearance : Very dark in appearance with a open mocha head when poured
7. Body : Medium to light bodied, well carbonated, ok head retention.
8. Taste : Surprisingly light, with heavy notes of chocolate, a slight nuttiness with a dry finish

A very nice, well rounded Baltic Porter, it had lots of flavour, and it had a real warming quality. Not too stong, but strong enough to make you go phwoarrr..
Our overall rating: 4.1/ 5.0
