Koff Porter

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

Bottle. Pours a nice thick dark brown almost black with a two finger tan head. Aroma of expresso and malt. Taste of coffee and caramel with a hint of smoke. A nice porter.

Nice pour - extremely dark and opaque with a fluffy orangey-brown head that looks just like a chocolate mousse. Initial aroma is of roasted coffee beans, but any burnt aspects dissipate. There’s some sweetness in the nose, maybe toffee, and a mild floweriness from hops. The beer is smooth, thick, and slightly oily on the palate. No roasted flavors like you might expect from an American version, but that’s no fault. Chocolate takes its turn on the tongue and the beer features a very pleasant drying bitterness. The high alcohol is almost completely masked. This is a very fine beer. No gimmicks, just quality.

very, very dark pour with an orangey, tan head which settles nicely to delicate lace. aroma was mild chocolate and some citrus hops. flavor had many layers: coffee, raisins, molasses, dark malts, vanilla, smoke, but chocolate dominates. palate is smooth and creamy. at just $2.19 per bottle, this was my good buy of the week!

Beautiful beer here, full roasted aroma as well. Taste falls a bit flat for me, overly crisp and charred, not complex. Good stuff nonetheless, just not world class.

Bottled. Opaque black color with diminishing dark brown head. Strongly burnt, salty and vinous aroma with rye, black currants, toffee and rum. Strongly burnt and charred flavor, fairly bitter also. The finish is long, charred and smoky with bitter chocolade notes. Fairly carbonated. Very uncompromising stout with black malt overload.

Pours very dark, with a thin tan head. Rich thick body, with a balance of hops and malt. Heavy chocolate and coffee flavor. Clean finish

33 cl bottle . very dark brown almost totally black beer with a tan head , with some purplish tinges..looks great. Mostly toasted malty aromas , but some funky fruitiness there too. Good flavours of figs,raisins, 70% cocao Dark chocolate and actually quite a hop presence compared to others in this category. Pretty exciting on the tongue..though the carbonation is per haps a touch to much. Not the Best Baltic but probably the most authentic I have had..good but not great.

nice three finger medium brown head. unexpected grapes and grape juice in the nose accompanied by roasted malt. flavor is coffee and a touch of caramel with more lightly sour grapes, and some anise. a little thin in body and finishes a touch metallic.
