Koff Porter

Brewed by Sinebrychoff (Carlsberg)
Style: Baltic Porter
Kerava, Finland

Serve in English pint, Shaker, Snifter

Pours dark, dark black with a brown head which dissipates but gathers in the middle of the glass, a little lacing present. There is a lactic acid twang in the nose with dark chocolate and roasted malt. The palate is full bodied, slick, soft and pillow-like. There is a malty sweetness in the taste which finishes with the lasting flavor of lactose and semi-sweet chocolate. This is a rich and inviting Porter. Great for sipping. Unique.

Bottle. Pours black with brown head and good lacing. Full bodied with average carbonation and long, lightly bitter and burnt finish. Robust aromas have coffee flavors, roasted malts, hint of chocolate.

Black, viscous pour, aroma of fruit and dark roasty goodness. Heavy in the mouth, almost a stout but still not as chewy, with sour fruit and a lasting tang.

Draught, Dunedin House of Beer, Dunedin, FL: Well, this is one of those great moments to be a beer geek. Stumbled into a bar as my wife shopped next door and asked for something dark and tasty, this is what I was given. The pour was black, ruby edges, a big and thick tan head. Aroma is sour cherries, roasted malts and molasses, just a solid scent overall. The taste is insane with a great sour cherry flavour alongside roasty malts, chocolate, lactose and molasses. All a little light to sip, as a porter should be. Great stuff!

12 oz. bottle from Jungle Jim’s. I was surprised to see the percentile on here, as I just bought it seeing that it was from Finland and looking to put another country on my map. Pours black, almost motor oil in appearance out of the bottle, with a huge, rocky tan head that leaves soapy lacing all over the glass. A lot of chocolate malts on the nose, with notes of dark fruit, tobacco, dust, cardboard, and burnt sugar. The flavor is more smoothed out than the aroma indicates, with notes of chocolate malts, roast, brown sugar, light hops, and dark fruits late. Lighter body than the appearance lets on, with an thin, oily mouthfeel. Roasty, fruity finish. Not a bad porter, but certainly overrated.

Thanks Fatphil for the The tip! Dark color with a short beige head, aroma is coffee and some roasted malt. Flavor has notes of chocolate, roasted malt and some good bitterness. Mouthfeel is quite long and bitter coffee. Good one.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Nice smoky aroma. Flavor of roasted malt at the beginning, then some hoppy tones. Good smoky finish.
