We’ve finally, at long last, come to Spooky Finger Puppet Ghost Month’s first (and, quite possibly, only) porter. For those who are fresh to the blog, or those of you who need a reminder: Porter is my favorite style of beer.

I love the roasted malt that’s not as powerful as you’d find in a stout. I love that they’re primarily associated with autumn. I love how crisp, cool, and (generally-) mildly boozy they are. When you throw pumpkin into the mix? Yes, please.

Halloween's over and there's another, more Turkey-related holiday looming around the corner. And believe you me, do I have some beers slated for posting about in preparation for Turkey Day. But, before I get to those, I really want to do a post on this: New Holland's Baltic Anomaly.


It's been a bit since I've posted about a porter. My parents seem to know that. Which could explain why they gave me a sixer of Baltic Anomaly a month and a half ago. I'm really proud of myself for not breaking into the stuff yet. But, since it's been super holiday-y around here lately, I really wanted to give the porter its due diligence while also using it as a segue from one holiday to the next.
