Commercial Description:
The most delightful way to enjoy Saku Porter would be in front of a fireplace or in candle light during those long and dark winter nights. This beer keeps you warm all through the coldest time of the year. Saku Porter is the ideal accompaniment to roasted meats and game. The fact that porter is also perfectly suited to light various desserts, especially those containing chocolate, may not be that commonly known. The ideal serving temperature for Saku Porter is rather high, 12–14 °C, a typical quality for dark beers. Saku Porter, a unique dark beer with strong taste, is brewed of water, caramel, light and coffee malts, hop and yeast, however, only once a year – for Christmas. Similarly to classical porters, Saku Porter is a strong (alc. 7.5 % of volume) full-bodied beer. A special jewel to Saku Porter is its high, rich, brownish foam.

Bottle. [thank you, oh6gdx]
[vintage 2007]
Pours almost black with just some red edges. A big, frothy, off-white head - fine duration. Very pleasant sweet maltiness, some chocolate and roasted malts. Medium carbonation, super mouthfeel - good dryness. Flavour starts with just a tad of metal, but afterwards there are super fine roasted malts, dry hops, chocolate. Super fantastic long dry aftertaste.

500 ml bottle. Deep, dark reddish brown colour, thin beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, plum and coffee; rather dry. Roasted, malty flavour, with liquorice and coffee. Medium-bodied. Dry finish, with a little alcohol warmth. The best Saku product I have tasted, a pleasant surprise.

Very dark beer with light beige head. Aroma is roasted, quite dry and slightly sour. Flavour is balanced, quite roasted, some liquirice and first slightly sweet flavour that dries very quicly. Medium or full-bodied beer and nicely oily to drink. Saku Porter is typical baltic porter without disappointments, but still I would hope for something more to make this more interesting.

Dark brown colour with a brown head. Roasted malt aroma with some liquorice. The flavour is roasted malt, liquorice, coffee and with hint of dark chocolate. Medium-bodied and slightly bitter aftertaste. Maybe a bit too thin to be a great beer but still quite enjoyable.
