Mineral, caramel, and yeasty nose. Pours a thin brown head with slight lacing. A dry, ashy, malt-husky flavor. Not a bad porter by any means.

Spledid porter from the Findlads biggest brewery. Propably the best store-sold porter available in Finland.

Very dark and very rich with cocoa. the nose overwhelm the smells of dark roasted malts and caramel. Even though it has high Alcoholic content, it does seem to hit me as other strong beer. perfect for a night cap

Pours black with a thick creamy/frothy light brown head. Strong sweet aroma of dark fruit, cognac, and light caramel. Flavor is more subdued, light bakers chocolate, some roasty black coffee, very light hints of dark fruit, and a nice bitternss on the finish. Palate is meduim with some roasty malts and mild bitterness lingering. Pretty solid/balanced brew, but I expected more from the powerful aroma.

Bottle. Pours black with a significant brown head. Nice molasses and roasty malt aroma. Creamy medium body with light carbonation. More molasses in the taste along with chocolate and coffee. A touch of espresso and pine in the exit that builds a bit as I get closer to the bottom of the glass.

1999 vintage I wish I could say I had the years of knowledge, the due diligence, the foresight, the experience, and capacity to have personally saved a bottle of this beer for 7 years. But it would be a lie, maybe in 7 years from now I will be able to say that. This bottle was bought at a special vintage event and it should have been kept relatively well. It was fridged for 48 hours and held at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Popped with a small hiss and pours with just the smallest brown lacing. Aroma is on the mild side of being present and mainly a charred malt. Taste is a bit better with some chocolate and a nice dry roastiness in the aftertaste. Body is lighter than I like (I usually find this to be the problem with the Baltic, Baltic Porters). A bit of bitterness at the end as well. This has lost a lot of the characteristics I enjoy in a fresh Koff, which I really enjoy. So I guess in the end I will never get to say that I have a saved a Koff Porter for 7 years.

i can see why baltic porters are getting so popular, this is a solid beer. it has a nice roasted malt flavor with some chocolate and fruitiness. i like the mouth feel, it’s almost creamy... excellent buy at $2.50 a bottle.

Poured a deep mohagony to black fluffy brown head. A sweet and grass like aroma was present with a touch of roast malt. Flavor was sweet with noticable notes of molases and honey backed up by dark fruit..
