Koff Porter

pours jet black with a nice side tan head that has good lacing. Smoky roasted and nutty aroma. Smokey coffee and chocolate flavors. Creamy body with a slight bitter aftertase.

Pours a pitch-black chocolate color with brown edges; attractive head formation and good lacing. The aroma shows rum raisins, some dark chocolate. Definite vanilla notes, raisins, milk chocolate, roasted malt character, with some smoke and a slightly charred taste on the finish (all well-integrated). A very tasty, very drinkable porter.

[Sampled at RGESG 2006] Black with a brown head. Sweet fruitiness in the aroma. Fullbodied with loadds of maltiness.

Bottle sampled with Beerded one (bottled in 2000). Pours Dark with a one finger thick cola colored head. Aroma of roast, coffee, chocolate, and caramel. The flavor is silky smooth, roast, chocolate, coffee, caramel, slight fruit, sweet with a tiny bitter finish. Good body, Great brew.

Labled as a Sinebrychoff Porter IV, vintage 1997. One of the last few we had at Bottleworks. Pours a dark black with a foamy beige tanned head that sticks around. The aroma gives a blast of dark roasted malts, vanillad coffee, and dark fruits. The flavor starts off quite smooth and foamy like the head with a sweet touch of fruit that quickly bounces into a dark and roasted coffee espresso note with a bit of a dark cocoa powder and dark molasses backing to it. From there a gently done bitter hop note takes over into the finish which lingers for a bit. Everything about this brew is dark, dark, dark. Has held up quite well for being 9 years old!! Not much, if any hint of alcohol, though I’m sure when it was fresh in 1997 you could probably taste it. Overall, very impressive!

Bottle. The beer is completely black with a dark-brown foam. Aroma of sugar, liqurice and melas. This tastes sweet bith the hops impart a strong bitter finish.

"Thanks to eagle for this one. 2000. What a beer poured almost black with tan head. Aroma was of roasted, dark fruits. Flavor was of chocolate dark fruits, coffee. SOme hops in the aftertaste. Solid beer."
