Maltgarden Escape with Me is an ambitious porter from Poland's Maltgarden brewery, crafted with hazelnut, cinnamon and maple syrup. This is no ordinary dark beer: the combination of specialty ingredients—including barley malt, wheat malt and oat flakes—creates a layered profile that balances sweetness with spice.

The aroma evokes chocolate wafers and toffee, though some detect a subtle sourness in the taste. The body is substantial, fitting its 7.5% ABV. This beer demands attention: the maple and cinnamon can be assertive, but for those who appreciate unconventional, characterful porters, it offers a memorable experience. Note that this beer is no longer in regular production.
