Sam Adams' "Dark Depths"

Sam Adams calls this a "Baltic IPA" as if that was a real thing. They are really getting far afield. It is close to a "black" IPA, but really is a lagered porter. Dark malts, chocolate, a little burnt toast/burnt barbecue flavor. Would go great with pork ribs, for sure. Maybe even a little wood flavor. And enough hops to take off the sweetness. But damn, it's not an IPA. It's not an ale, and it's not even pale. But it is a good tasty porter.
