Dec 16, 2008 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.

Dec 13, 2008 Updated: Dec 23, 2009Very dark beer with light beige head. Aroma is roasted, slightly sweet, slightly sour. Flavour is balanced, quite roasted, some liquirice and hint of chocolate, first slightly sweet flavour that dries in the end. Medium or full-bodied beer and nicely oily to drink. Saku Porter is typical baltic porter without disappointments, and also quite complex.

Nov 28, 2008 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.

Nov 16, 2008 Black, nicely creamy beige head. Milk chocolatey aroma with little vegies, metal, and alcohol, quite many off-aromas actually. Neutral milky flavor, dry burned malts, metal, little vegetables. Little charcoal and cocoa in the mildly bitter finish. Almost medium bodied, soft carbonation, light palate for such high abv. Hold on, this is just Saku taurus painted black!

Appearance: Pitch black with a huge brown creamy head that vanishes a bit too quickly.
Aroma: Molasses, Chocolate, Roasted malt, Dark bread, Smoke
Flavor: Bitter coffee, Sugar, Molasses, Fruit, Tobacco, Caramel.
Palate: Body is quite think and has very low carbonation. A very sweet porter with a dry, ashy, aftertaste.
This is not a bad porter but it’s too sweet for me. Paired nicely with some dark chocolate tho. If you’re into sweet porters this might appeal to you!
