Koff Porter

Very dark, with a fine brown head that lasts really good. Aroma: roasted, liquorice, dark chocolate and maybe some tar also (a very finnish thing, tar). Taste: roasted, coffe, tar, salt, very dry. Rich mouthfeel. Not very sweet. Really good one.

My first Finnish brew. Typical label. Dark pour with huge, fluffy tan head, and lace on the glass. The aroma is fruity with an unfortunate touch of skank. The taste is very impressive. The rich, dry coffee flavor is abetted by a full dose of hops. The bottle I had might have been a tiny bit off, but I could tell that this is a good porter.

Bottle- Black with tan foam head. Bitter roast with malts and a tart anise-licorice flavor. Good body and blend, a decent mellow porter.

Pours dark brown nearly black with a nice thick creamy tan head. Aroma of sweet malted chocolate, a bit candy like with some toffee and hints of clove. Nicely pleasant but a little too overly sweet and simple. Flavor starts with a mellow licorice sweetness that gains a nice chocolate creaminess. Gets just a bit of a smoked woody flavor in the back of the mouth and finishes very smooth and creamy. Excellent mouth feel and surprisingly refreshing for a heavier alcohol. Nice mellow carbonation and and not overly sticky. Very good all around.

Bottle at Jacobs - Southern Lord Day. Black - brown head. Burned, berries, chocolate, oxidation, high malty, bitterness, light hoppy, coffee, sweetness. OK.

Draught: Poured a deep oily black with light head. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, and light hops. Taste is sweet roasted malts and coffee.

Bottle. Pale brown huge frothy head. All black body, seems thick, like syrup. Heavy malty aroma. Not sweet, medium dry. Medium sweet flavour, roasted malt, some coffee and licorice. Full bodied. Dry and slightly bitter finish. (At home, 19.02.09)

On tap at Uber. Pours black with a decent beige head. Aroma is smoky malt. Flavors of smoked meat, chocolate, roasted malt. Thick mouthfeel, roasty finish.
