Alderis Porteris

This past weekend I drank my first ever latvian beer....Alderis Porteris. It came in a big bottle and cost my about a buck-fifty. The price was right and the territory was new,it was time to explore.



I have yet to try a dark beer from a formerly eastern-bloc nation that I don't like. This reminded me a great deal of the polish porters I have ingested over the last month. Sweet and kinda thick, with a minimal amount of bitterness and a mid ranged alcohol content. This definitely puts any dark beer Red Hook Brewery offers to shame. If this is what the commies were drinking,paint me red and call me Sputnik.
