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.

Bottle. A dark brown one, topped by a small, dark beige head. The aroma has chocolate, some coffee and molasses hints, and I think I spot some dried fruits as well. Dark bitter chocolate, molasses and coffee in the flavor. It’s full-bodied and soft on the palate, semi dry, with dark, bitter chocolate in the finish. A pretty pleasant and interesting beer, still I don’t feel excited and I don’t feel an urge to get more of it. 130508

(Draught at Bishop’s Arms Linnégatan, Stockholm, 9 Nov 2013) Black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, creamy coffee, raisins, prunes and dark fruit. Malty, roasted taste with dark chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, black rye bread and a generous coffee bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Soft and chewy malt character. Great balance and very tasty. Lovely porter!

0.5l bottle. This is a clear deep dark one with a small brown bubbly top that quickly fades to the sides of the glass. Nice roasted aroma with some chocolate, coffee and a nice sweetness. Not to complicated just pleasant and nice. It's right below average on the carbonation and the mouthfeel is light oily. Quite a good amount of flavors here. Deep roasted - almost on the verge of light burned, good bitter dark chocolate, cold strong coffee and those sweet caramel things you put in the coffee at gas stations. It's leaving a really dark roasted chocolaty flavor in my mouth for a long time this. Impressingly flavorful and I think this has to be one of the best beers I've had from our neighbours up in the east. I used to know a Finish word once, but when I talked to a Finn, that actually turned out to be totally wrong. 05.02.2013
