Notes
This beer turned out excellent and I'm very pleased with it. I did two seperate mashes. The Munich Malt was mashed first at 155F only, then boiled the whole time I was mashing the rest. I followed the advice of an article here about getting some of the heavier proteins back in solution. The beer young, has a very smooth taste with the expected aftertaste, but it is well balanced.

Top fermented Baltic Porter?

I would suggest using lager strain, as baltic porter is usually bottom fermented. If brewed with ale strain, try german alt strain and ferment as cold as possible. English strains are to estery and fruity.
