500ml bottle, thanks to Finn. Frothy, fawn coloured head, with medium retention and fragile laceworks, resting on a black-brown body. Chocolate malts to the nose added a peaty touch. Roasted sweet dark malts in flavour mixed with a dash of anise leading to an ending of bitter coffee notes. The first glass is highly drinkable. However, after a while in the glass this Finish Porter lost most of its distinctive smell and taste(at home, 04.07.2008).

Aug 22, 2008 Hello I am from Kokkola and I am drinking Kukko beer! Ei kovin kolkkoa! Laitila goes baltic porter here and doesn’t mess it up too badly. Three bottles we had with brothers at first were quite confusing, the vegetal taste didn’t fit the coffee scent at all so it felt like being with a dirt cannon while you expect a cup of joe. Now everything seems to be in order and we gots the roasty malts, sweetness and hops, a soft mouthfeel and no kekkilän kukkamulta this time.

Aug 18, 2008 Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Very black, small beige head. Aroma of sark chocolate and coffee. Medium sweet with dense malt. Lots of heavily roasty ground coffee. Long salty bitterness. Typical Baltic Porter with it’s simple but powerful flavour, that otherwise less interesting brewers seem to master. This is really good! Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas are certainly moving in the right direction!
