New Brew: OEC Obscura Baltic Porter

A few years ago OEC Brewing out of Connecticut started distributing their coolship beers to Boise. I grabbed a few and instantly fell in love. Over the years I have continually drank new beers as well as some of my favorites coming from this brewery and I have never been disappointed.

Today I am drinking one of my favorite styles, the Baltic Porter. I am so happy the Baltic Porter has become more popular with craft brewers.

The Obscura from OEC is very good. It is hard to describe the aroma and flavors because it is so complex and rich in favor. But if I tried I would say it has a toffee base with dried dark fruit and some tobacco mixed in for good measure. It does not come across sweet but is very well balanced with the flavors leaving only the hint of sweetness.

This is a beer I recommend anyone able to purchase try and I am sure you will enjoy it.
