De Molen / Yria ¡Oye! & Ohja! Chivas Regal BA

This Imperial Baltic Porter, a collaboration between De Molen and Yria, delivers a decadent sensory experience refined by Chivas Regal barrel aging. A deep malt foundation of molasses, licorice, and toasted nuts meets the sophisticated influence of Scotch whisky, offering notes of honeyed oak, vanilla, and a whisper of peat. The high gravity elevates the style's signature dark fruit esters, reminiscent of plums and raisins, while the Chivas barrels add a vinous complexity. Despite its strength, the finish remains smooth and deceptively drinkable, balancing rich sweetness with a clean, noble-malt roast that avoids any acrid or burnt character.
