Koff Porter
(has 2 batches)

33 cL bottle, thanks to Grovlam. Pours dark brown with a huge dense light brown head, perfect pour. Light roasted malt, slight alcohol nose and dark malt. Flavour is mild smoked flavour with mild chocolate smoothness and a nice roasted note. Smooth finish with a solid bitterness mixing with roasted malt notes. Beautiful pour, faint aroma and good flavour.

Bottle at home ... Thanks to Pat ... Deep solid black ... nice roast and lots of alcohol in nose ... roast malt ... bit bitter ... some hop character ... bit over powerful with the balance a bit off but still ok.

As Sinebrychoff Porter IV. Bottle from Ledger’s Liquors. Top fermentation! Go Finns! It pours like oil. It smells like dark fruit with a hint of coffee. The color is opaque black with a tan head that didn’t stay long. Thin to medium body with creamy, near chewy, carbonation. The flavor is dark roasted malt, coffee, and light stone fruit? Mouthsmackingly good. It’s going really well with lox, but the lox smoke may affect the ale flavor. Maybe there is some cola in this. It is very tasty. The finish is not all that dry, has remnants of dark roast, and a hint of hop. Maybe light stone fruit, and more than a hint of hop. I think this ale changes from moment to moment. It’s really very, very tasty. Try this before you depart this mortal coil.

Bottle. Black colour with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate. Flavour is hop, roasted, smoked, chocolate, coffee, malt . Nice beer.

Bottle. (trade w/tbone_) Pours very dark brown, almost black, and is topped by a creamy, beige head. Fruity and slightly oxidized nose, with chocolate and roasted malt. The same goes for the flavor, but there’s a weak note of coffee there as well. It finishes quite dry, with chocolate, roasted malt, some fruityness and bitterness. I would like a fuller body on the beer, and also some more hops, but it is definately a nice beer. (070809)

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 21 Sep 2007) Pitch black colour with brief, brown head. Roasted nose with chocolate, coffee, liquorice and modest notes of tar. Roasted, malty taste with notes of chocolate, liquorice, hints of tar and soy sauce. Powerful finish with coffee bitterness and sweetish chocolate notes. Medium to full body, with slightly oily texture. Seriously nice porter.

33cl bottle; Nose of chocolate with a molasses note; opaque black with a medium glass-lacing tan head; flavor of a mixture of chocolate, molasses, and some coffee; finish being a very faint hop bitterness. Body is medium; good but not great. A little too molassesy for my taste.

Massive creamy head recedes around the edges leaving the centre of the foam looking like a poached egg floating within. The flavour is predominantly dry and bitter with some coffee notes coming through. The texture is rich and oily giving a great mouthfeel.
