Bottled. A dark brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with a pretty strong roasted note. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and roasted malt as well as a light coffee note, leading to a dry bitter and roasted finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Bierkönig. Pours a clear, dark brown - almost black - with a reddish hue and a dense, creamy, beige head that leaves some lacing. Lovely aroma of licorice and coffee - and I even detect a whiff of Brett?? Fairly light in body with hard roasted malt accents and some sweetish licorice flavours. Subdued bitterness. But soft and pleasant. 120108

Draught. Black opaque, small brown head. Roasted malt along with toffeeish and caramellish hints. Roasted malt and semibitterish malty hints along with hops. Sticky palate and bitterish aftertaste.

UPDATED: APR 10, 2003 Sampled draught at Helsinki Beer Festival.
Transparently black with off white head. Citrusy hoppy nose. Very chocolatey with loads of coffee. Dry with clean malt profile and a bitter licorice finish. A truly excellent classic porter!

Red-tinged brown. Through the brewery says the sun will make it appear a traffic-light red. Smokey, coffeeish and very nutty aroma. Slightly dusty as well. soft and sweet body with cream, slight caramel, coffee notes. Smooth, sweet finish. Very clean, subtle.

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of chocolate, roastiness, light smoke, nuts, and toasted marshmallow. Flavor of roasted malt, cocoa, and light lactose.

Bottle - Bruxellensis Festival. Black with brown edges. Great portery aroma. Choc/coffee, but more of the coffee side. Nice deep flavours. Good porter.

Draught
Opaque black, small but steady tanned head. Coffee, roasted, chocolaty nose. Hoppy, roasted medium-bodied brew but lacks malty backbone: typical to Huvila beers. Dry, woody aftertaste.
