Notes

Originally inspired by Widawa Smoked Baltic Porter 24o (by Wojtek Frączyk). https://beerandbrewing.com/recipe-widawa-smoked-baltic-porter-24/

Substituted the bestmalz smoked for weyerman beech smoked grain based on what I could get from my LHBS.

Instead of Polish Junga Hops shown in recipe am using Rakau for similar reasons. Maybe not the best hops substitution but it turned out great anyway.

Yeast will be fermentis 34/70.

Post brewing:
By far the best beer I have brewed. The smoke is not overwhelming at all and contributes to a nice balanced flavour. Lots of roasty notes with a really thick mouthfeel. Will definitely be brewing this again.
