Bottle. Thanks to Bart for bringing this from Finland. Thin sweet aroma. Light brown with pretty lace. Body is okay, maybe a bit light. Rather rasty aftertaste. Decent.

Smell of caramel and vodka. Black-brown colour with dark brown, creamy head. Bittersweet, also faint sourness. Sharp to begin with due to alcohol content. Softens quickly. In the beginning, some licorice/salmiak aroma. Strong aftertaste of coffee. Excellent.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Called "Huvila Porter", not X-Porter, but the label clearly says Baltic Porter and 7.0 %. So I guess I’m rating the correct thing. Nice mix of sweet fruity notes, coffee, and balsamic vinegar on the aroma. More sweet balsamic vinegar in the flavor. Very tasty .
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very dark brown, tan head. Nose is nutty roastiness, vanilla and berry hints. Taste has bitter roastiness, slight coffee and vanilla, smokiness and liquorice. Bitter roasty finish. Smooth mouthfeel, medium body.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Olut on mustaa ja sen vaahto on vaalean ruskeaa. Tuoksussa on paahtunutta mallasta, kahvia, suklaata, salmiakkia ja lakritsia. Maultaan olut on kuivan kahvinen ja suklainen. Maussa on myös jonkin verran karkeaa tuhkaisuutta, mikä ei ainakaan minua miellytä. Melko paksua tavaraa. Parempi kuin Marsalkka Portteri, mutta huonompi kuin Sinebrychoff Porter.
