Koff Porter

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

Aroma is of sweet milk chocolate.Pours dark black with huge tan head.Has a nice balance of chocolate and hops.Medium to thin mouthfeel with some noticable hops in the finish.

Pours opaque black with thick dark, brown head. The aroma is almost vinous - malts and chocolate, molasses and dark fruit. The flavor starts with lots of bitter cocoa and burnt toast. The subtle sweetness of the malts transition to more chocolate and some hop flavor. The finish has some hops and some fruit - and lots of chocolate. The mouthfeel is quite thick and full-bodied - but smooth and creamy thanks to the carbonation.

Winter and cold weather are the friends of this dark and tasteful beer. Try this 50/50 Koff porter/light lager(any) and you will find something very special enjoyable year-round.

Bottle 0.33 l. Opaque black with nice brown lacy head, looks fabulous. Fresh milk chocolate nose. Flavor is initially roasty bitter and sour, but reveals creamy coffee and sweet chocolate, and little fruitiness. A tad watery body, sour and easy drink. Yet good.

Bottled in 2000: Pours an opaque black color with a brown head. Sweet and roased malts with notes of coffee. Bitter roasted malts with some coffe and a long sweet malt finish. Medium mouth feel. Good Porter.

Sourness, dark black with a little head, some coffee, soot, tar, a little watery, some bitterness, big minus on the smell

Bottle. Molasses, dark brown coloring. No head, save for an enticing brownish bubble ring around the glass. Chocolate, malty, almost fudge-like to the tongue offset by carbonation. Quick finish. Quite pleasurable for a porter.

2000. pitch black under a very dark brown head. extremely dark aroma of chocolate. flavor is the same. very dark and chocolatey. very good stuff.
