Commercial Description:
Porter is our darkest beer, but not necessarily our strongest. It is widely held that the darker the beer the stronger the beer, but this is summarily false. The contribution of color comes directly from the color of malt that we use. Some malt is roasted to achieve dark color and coffee-like flavor, which in turn get transferred to the beer. Our Porter is richly complex with overtones of chocolate and espresso beans followed by a subtle flavor of hops. It’s a nourishing beer without being too sweet or filling.

Dark mahogany with good, foamy tan head / Roast barley and chocolate nose / Light to medium body, watery and a touch fizzy, with weak finish / Relatively simple flavors of bittersweet chocolate and roast coffee / Another mediocre effort from ST.

bottle. Small fizzy off-white head that mostly diminished. Spare displaye of lacework. Clear mahogany color. Roasted malt, light coffee, chocolate. Quite full and tasty tones of roasted malt over the palate. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor. Nice roasted malty finish.

Bottled. Aroma has roast, coffee, chocolate with a touch of sourness. Black coloured beer with an off-white, medium head. The beer is a bit thin with a bitter finish. Slight note of metal. Could use some more body.

355ml bottle (Hilpea Hauki, Helsinki)
Red glints, but nearly black. Tan head. Sour malty roast aroma, a touch too sour. Anna gets hops too, I don’t - the sourness wins. Smooth palate, but decent carbonation and crisp tingly hops. Finish is roasty - it’s a decent roast, but it’s heading towards ashy, and also some porridgey malts. Well balanced and smooth. Good one.

Very dark light off white head. Bottles lately. Aroma is simple with some malt sweetness and some roasty. Taste is balance and pretty solid. Some coffee dominating the dark bittersweet chocolate. On tap: Nice creamy mouthfeel. Sweet with a hint of bittersweet cocoa and some roasted coffee. Pretty good.
