De Dokwerker is a Baltic Porter. A pure and artisanal beer with both bold and smooth characteristics. It contains notes of coffee and cocoa. De Dokwerker has been chosen as the best beer of Northern Netherlands. A Baltic Porter is a variant of the stout, with a full malty flavor of brown beer and a roasted but not burnt taste. Because this beer used to have to endure a long sea voyage, a lot of hops are added. Hops help the beer stay fresh for longer. The Porter is a dark beer, brewed with roasted malt, so it always has a hint of coffee and dark chocolate. Legend has it that porters at the harbors used to always carry a hip flask of dark beer rich in carbohydrates. They were paid per load they carried, so they didn’t need to take a lunch break. The Baltic variant generally has a slightly higher alcohol content, a fuller flavor, and a sweeter finish.
