The Huvila X-Porter has a deep black appearance with a brown head. Creamy, slightly nutty, smooth chocolate malt nose. The taste is similar to its nose but also allows the taste of toffee to come through. The after taste then turns more chocolate with toffee. This is a rarity as not many top-fermented Baltic Porters are made any more. Our “hero” at the San Diego Int’l Beer Festival 2010! It is available on tap and in bottles in bars and restaurants across Finland. Since 2011, Huvila X-Porter is also available in shops in Estonia through Drink Baar. Last, but not least, Huvila X-Porter is also imported into the US through Shelton Brothers. Name has since changed to Malmgård X-Porter.

500 ml bottle from bier-deluxe.de, cellared several months.
Dark brown body, with a massive, frothy, rocky, lacing, dark beige head.
Aroma of coffee, bitter chocolate, toast, liquorice, dark fruits.
Taste follows this, with additional ash and smoke notes and some cocoa powder.
Quite light mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes bitter, roasty, smoky, quite dry.

Nice one. Very strong tasting, but a bit one-dimensional in my opinion. Almost all about the dry roasty aromas, which aren’t bad though. The mouthfeel is a bit boring. But overall still enjoyable.

Bottle: Black with a ruby sheen, stable creamy tanned head; moderate sweet-bitter nose of dried fruits, roasted malt, vanilla and Wood; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, smooth and medium bodied; lingering dryish bitter-toasty finish, Wood, vanilla and dried fruits - again - included. Very pleasant...
