Koff Porter

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

Bottle 0.33 l. Opaque black with nice brown lacy head, looks fabulous. Fresh milk chocolate nose. Flavor is initially roasty bitter and sour, but reveals creamy coffee and sweet chocolate, and little fruitiness. A tad watery body, sour and easy drink. Yet good.

Bottled in 2000: Pours an opaque black color with a brown head. Sweet and roased malts with notes of coffee. Bitter roasted malts with some coffe and a long sweet malt finish. Medium mouth feel. Good Porter.

Sourness, dark black with a little head, some coffee, soot, tar, a little watery, some bitterness, big minus on the smell

Bottle. Molasses, dark brown coloring. No head, save for an enticing brownish bubble ring around the glass. Chocolate, malty, almost fudge-like to the tongue offset by carbonation. Quick finish. Quite pleasurable for a porter.

2000. pitch black under a very dark brown head. extremely dark aroma of chocolate. flavor is the same. very dark and chocolatey. very good stuff.

This pours very dark black, with a foamy, brown head. Scent is malty with molasses, and a bit of woodiness. The beer smells sweet, but the flavor is predominantly dry. There’s plenty of malt flavor, but the hops (I can’t place them) cover over most of the sweetness. The flavor is also slightly metallic. Finish is also dry, and the aftertaste borders on bitter. The palate is my favorite part of this beer -- like silk, even at room temperature. This beer is very, very tasty. I’ve had it several times, and i’m always impressed.

330 ml bottle. Pitch black colour and a really tall brown creamy egg-white head. A little yeasty. Crisp flour-like roasted chocolate aroma. Smooth rounded chocolate flavours. Rounded and mellow from debittered malts. Dark chocolate and a little coffee. Quite bitter finish that lasts for quite some time.

Bottled. Pours black coloured with a small head. Roasted and slightly fruity sour. Notes ofcoffe and has a slightly hoppy finish.
