Named Best Baltic Porter at the World Beer Awards, Les Trois Mousquetaires Grande Cuvée Porter Baltique deserves a full page spread in a niche magazine devoted to aficionados.

And guess what? Showing up with a bottle of this highly regarded Canadian import will amp your beer cred so much, we predict your friends will swear off all those industry mags -- you’ll be the new barometer of extravagance!

Take it from the Dark Beer fans determined enough to seek out this imported, 4.26 BA rated decadence: they’re describing it as “extraordinarily fine.” This creamy-satin elixir will be a coveted edition to any collection -- if you can resist cracking it open as soon as it lands.

Grande Cuvée will send shivers down your spine with sultry smooth roasts and whispers of cherrywood smoke. A 10% ABV conducts extra finely tuned espresso notes of locally-sourced Quebecois malts into your glass. A sinister black chestnut darkness tells you it’s made of pure indulgence. Twirling fruity tobacco notes of cherries and toasted walnuts flourish with each sip. A depth-charge of smoked caramel strikes you broadside, sinking you into the chocolatey riches with a crisp Lager crispness.

So kick up your feet and prepare to create your own picture of refinement. Even better if you have a drinking companion or two -- this much decadence deserves to be shared.
