Koff Porter

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

i can see why baltic porters are getting so popular, this is a solid beer. it has a nice roasted malt flavor with some chocolate and fruitiness. i like the mouth feel, it’s almost creamy... excellent buy at $2.50 a bottle.

Poured a deep mohagony to black fluffy brown head. A sweet and grass like aroma was present with a touch of roast malt. Flavor was sweet with noticable notes of molases and honey backed up by dark fruit..

Bottle shared by mikemac: Black with a dark tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, some coffee, and a bit of chocolate. Flavor, molassas, prunes, coffee. Pretty solid. Picked up a 1998 bottle that I can’t wait to try. Re-rate: 1998 vintage: Black with a small tan head. Aroma, some fruits, chocolate, and a hint of soy. Flavor, sweet chocolaty, some coffee, a bit of soy again, but nothing offensive. It held up pretty damn well.

Vintage 2000 - Pours pitch black with a fully receding mocha head. Aroma of rum, phenolic spice, fruity chocolate. Taste is spicy, chocolatey, phenolic. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Very tasty. A bit thin bodied for a porter, but I will buy this again.

Roasted malt aroma, but not really all that strong of an aroma. Black with a medium brown head. The palate is full. Taste is mostly bitter chocolate and roasted malt.

20030bottle. Dark, dark brown and opaque in color with a very full and creamy,almost fluffy, head that lasts with a dark beige color and minimal lacing; head looks like a rootbeer float. Nose is a little weak but not unpleasant; notes of butter and chocolate with some fruitiness and a rootbeer-like smell. Taste is curious, not like other strong, dark ales; dark chocolate, burnt toast, dark cocoa, a curius sour note, some lightly roasted coffee notes, and a moderate bitterness. Palate is medium, soft, and creamy, almost dry. Finishes with earthy hops, burnt chocolate, and mostly dry. Some excellent qualities but some abstract ones as well. Very easy drinking and a little scary at 7.2%.
