Huvila Foxy Porter

Formerly brewed at Panimoravintola Huvila
Style: Porter
Savonlinna, Finland

(From old notes, draught at Hilpeä Hauki on 2008-01-01) Almost black in colour. Small head. Rather weak nose. Roasted malt and liquorice in taste.

Draught. Low, chocolate-colored head, beer itself a deep brown. Appetizing coffee aroma. Creamy mouth feel, taste reminiscent of strong espresso with malty undertones, well-balanced bitterness. Lingering finish. A great craft beer!

keg draught 330ml at Mom’s Kauniainen 070408 color:dark brown tiny head scent:sweet, roasted malts too cold for tasting but hops kick,dryish, fizzy bit watery,chocolate. Very nice aftertaste. It was house beer but waitress wasn’t able to tell me brewer’s name. I read it from receipt!

Keg (Black Door, Helsinki)
Almost black, red glints, small light keggy head. Dry coffee aroma - turkish coffee dregs. Soft mouthfeel - sweet and sticky burntness. Taste is also quite sweet and malty - burnt - and coffee-like, but somehow a bit lacking. Fairly solid coffee porter, but a bit beany.

Druaght. Deep ruby red colour, close to black black. Mediumsized brown creamy head. Aroma is roasted malts, some hops and mild vegetably notes. Flavour is roasted malts, wet smoky wood and slight bitterness to balance the beer up. Aftertaste is mainly roast and wood.

Draught@Punavuoren Ahven
Dark brown color, opaque, small creamy beige head. Cold coffee and chocolate in the nose. Crisp carbonation in the start. Very coffeish (coffee beans), chocolaty - Youngs Double Chocolate -kind of porter. Not very strong, so it is reasonably "easy" to drink. Roasted, coffeish aftertaste.
