Koff Porter

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

Got a bottle at Spuyten Duyvil. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of dark malts and hops. The flavor has tons of dark malts and bitter hops, but not too bitter. I didn’t think it was as creamy as other people have said... it has a certain dryness in the finish that left me just wanting more. A really great beer.

Pours a deep dark black with a medium tan head. This beer has a malty, somewhat sweet aroma that is populated by chocolate, coffee, vanilla. The flavor is quite similar, with a creamy texture. A quite wonderful beer.

pours dark black with medium tan head. Aroma is very appetizing coffee & molasses, some chocolate, rye bread, light vanilla. Flavour is quite bitter after that sweet aroma. Burnt malt, bitter choc., molasses and vanilla. well blended alc. A little thin tasting for me though.

This not really a porter, more like stout. The flavour says "burnt rye bread" to me. Not really my favourite

Bottle purchased at Gordon’s n New London, CT.

Pours tar, thin tan head. Aroma is molasses, malt, coffee, anise, vanilla, caramel, pine. Flavor is the same and smoky chocolatey with roastiness. This is a damn good porter even if I do say so myself

Bottle. Pours black with creamy and long-lasting brown head. Nice lace formation. Aromas are deep, rye bread-like roasted malts and sour cocoa beans Also a hint of dried fruits. Flavor starts sour and finishes chalky dry with a medium bitteration and wonderful chocolate aroma. Hops are somehow earthy and robust but it fits well with this beer. Alcohol is very well hidden. Slick and thin texture, medium body. One of the best finish beers. Distinctive character of this beer is always as enjoyable.

Bottle. Appearance is cola black with a small brown head. Aroma is chocolate, but flavor is somewhere between soy sauce and ketchup with elements of coffee. That combination is not necessarily unappealing, though. Dry and thin, with a chalky and earthy aftertaste. Doesn’t do it for me right now, but it leaves me intrigued.

11.2oz bottle, bottled 1998. Pours pitch black in color with very thin brown head. Aroma sweet, molasses and malt. Taste coffee, malasses and bitter chocolate with dry finish.
