Draught. Very dark ruby brown colour, very close to black. Aroma is yeast, hops, mild roasted malts as well as some chocolate. Flavour is quite sweet and mildly acidic fruityness along with roasted malts. As it warms up also some coffeeish and chocolateish notes become present in the flavour too. Nice, but still quite watery.

Draught. Dark brown colour. A flat head. Some hints of smoke and old boots and some soap in the nose. Anyway something is missing. Dissapointing beer.

Jet black, barely any caramel color, even at glass bottom. Wispy, poor head. Big coffee aroma, light noble aroma. Not quite thin body, light huskiness. Coffee flavors, quite balanced.

Draught@Kaisla, Helsinki
Dark brown, almost opaque color with small expresso head. Sweetish, chocolaty aroma with some hops. Crisp, tickling carbonation. Starts a bit toasted malty, but then suprisingly flavor leans more towards to bitter and hoppy side. Some menthol in the aftertaste. Dark malts are there, slightly watery finish anyhow. Interesting, although not a really top class porter.
