Koff Porter

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

very, very dark pour with an orangey, tan head which settles nicely to delicate lace. aroma was mild chocolate and some citrus hops. flavor had many layers: coffee, raisins, molasses, dark malts, vanilla, smoke, but chocolate dominates. palate is smooth and creamy. at just $2.19 per bottle, this was my good buy of the week!

Beautiful beer here, full roasted aroma as well. Taste falls a bit flat for me, overly crisp and charred, not complex. Good stuff nonetheless, just not world class.

Bottled. Opaque black color with diminishing dark brown head. Strongly burnt, salty and vinous aroma with rye, black currants, toffee and rum. Strongly burnt and charred flavor, fairly bitter also. The finish is long, charred and smoky with bitter chocolade notes. Fairly carbonated. Very uncompromising stout with black malt overload.

Pours very dark, with a thin tan head. Rich thick body, with a balance of hops and malt. Heavy chocolate and coffee flavor. Clean finish

33 cl bottle . very dark brown almost totally black beer with a tan head , with some purplish tinges..looks great. Mostly toasted malty aromas , but some funky fruitiness there too. Good flavours of figs,raisins, 70% cocao Dark chocolate and actually quite a hop presence compared to others in this category. Pretty exciting on the tongue..though the carbonation is per haps a touch to much. Not the Best Baltic but probably the most authentic I have had..good but not great.

nice three finger medium brown head. unexpected grapes and grape juice in the nose accompanied by roasted malt. flavor is coffee and a touch of caramel with more lightly sour grapes, and some anise. a little thin in body and finishes a touch metallic.

Very dark, almost black beer with a nice and creamy dark beige to brown head. Aroma is suggesting a sweetness in the taste, it has a well hidden sour accent and lots of coffee hints with a touch of roasted malts. Taste is dryer than expected and the beer leaves a slight midicinal touch in the taste. It is faintly herbal, malty and spicey. In the afthertaste you can notice accents of dry honey, grass and hops. Nice beer with good ballace, but lacs that extra touch to be great.

Originally very dark head, gradually clearing out to yellow brown, dense & creamy; very dark, nearly black beer with some burgundy highlights. Coffee nose, but caramelly at the same time, quite sweet. Taste is fully roasted, scorched coffeebeans or breadcrust, sweetness just a faraway cry. After some time, a typical sourness from roasted barley appears, however restrained. Bit aggressive burning, and not at all full-bodied, thin for a 7.2 ABV beer. In the aftertaste a flavour as from brown sugar, but without any sweetness. OK, but nothing more. Thanks to lachesis for sharing this one.
