Koff Porter

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

The aroma of this tar colored beer is exquisite. It smells of rich chocolate, almost like a chocolate cheesecake, with overtones of roasted coffee. The flavor is more robust, there is a strong, smoky roasted flavor and some bitter kick in the background. Some flavor almost reminescent of powdered espresso beans is noticeable. The finish is all roasted maltiness and coffee flavor. This is a great porter, which is full bodied but drinkable, and smooth yet potently flavorful. Seek this out if you enjoy dark beers.

Pours black with a large brown head. Strong, malty, roasted taste with aromas of coffee, smoke and dark chocolate. Surprisingly thin mouthfeel but definitely not watery. Slightly carbonated.

330ml Bottle- Black in colour with a chocolatey brown head reminiscent of a cup of cocoa. Coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Rich taste with plain chocolate and roasted coffee with a pleasing creaminess in the lightly malty finish. Very enjoyable and whilst it is rich and full bodied, it is also smooth and easy to drink.

bottle. pours black with creamy tan head. aroma of oats, espresso, and lots of dark sugars. oaty, brown sugar, coffee, and chocolate flavors. the sugar really reminds me of the sugar used in dark lord. light-med silky body. low carbonation feel. smooth beer although a tad grainy finish.

Pours a dark brown with a small tan head, nice lacing. Aroma of smoke, chocolate, and nuts. Flavor seems a little dull.

Pours think oil black with a medium creamy mocha head. Some smoked peat and slightly metallic aroma. Really an excellent porter. Creamy chocolate and some caramel, little smokey with a very noticeable metallic hoppy edge. Not exactly what I was expecting. Really an excellent fast drinking porter but I prefer my fullers =). (this one reminds me of a nicer version of sierra’s porter)

Pours a very dark black with foamy coffee colored head. Beautiful aroma of smoky maltiness, chocolate, nut and toast. This is a very complex beer with lots of smoky malty flavor. Hints of chocolate, toast, nut and roasted coffee.

Viscous inky pour--coated my glass as I swirled. Smoky, chocolately, and nutty on the nose and the palate. Also notes of smoke, sourness, soy, and a little grease. A classic baltic porter from what I can tell.
