Pipeline Porter is smooth and dark with a distinctive roasty aroma and earthy complexity from its diverse blends of premium malted barley. This celebration of malt unites with freshly roasted 100% Kona coffee grown at Cornwell Estate on Hawaii’s Big Island, lending a unique roasted aroma and flavor.

Bottled (at Sports Office, Vaasa). More or less black colour with a mediumsized brown head. Aroma is nutty, some coffee, mild roasted malts as well as some raisins and mild toffee. Flavour is toffee, nutty, mild coffee along with some liquorice, mild raisins and some wood. Neatly balanced.

Can. Dark brown sporting a nice beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, ground coffee, brown sugar and earthiness. Taste of roasted malts, brown sugar, caramel, coffee and dark chocolate. Moderate but lasting bitterness. Strong carbonation. Watery mouthfeel. Ok but it’s always the same old song: I like the idea of coffee Porters/Stouts/Whatevers better than the actual beers.
