The Myth of Permanence Lager Series 015: Baltic Porter
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of the Myth Of Permanence lager series after a 15 month run. Born in 2020, the Myth of Permanence grew up among friends and went on to achieve much in its short life, amassing fans and awards along the way. The MoP has left an indelible imprint on all of our lives and will be forever missed.
The final release in our Myth of Permanence Series is this Baltic Porter. Black in colour, with a caramel, tan head, this porter is rich and sweet, with notes of caramel, rich malty toast, milk chocolate, café au lait, as well as cherries and dates. It starts off sweet, but the roast and hops quickly lead into to a dry, bitter finish. Dark and delicious with a creamy carbonation, our baltic porter is not only a perfect end to our lager series, but also serves as a perfect ending to your evening.
A special thanks to head brewer Brian O’Donnell without whom the series would not have been possible. A celebration of the life of the Myth of Permanence will take place at the brewery on December 10th with the launch of our December Ides beer. Condolences can be sent to info@hendersonbrewing.com.
