A. Le Coq Porter has a strong taste and a rich aroma. It is a typical Baltic porter with the dominant flavour of roasted malt, but hints of black bread and caramel can also be felt. They are complemented by the nuance of dried fruit and dark chocolate in the end.

(bottle) Clear, dark chestnut-colour with a fluffy tanned foamy head. Sugary sweet and slightly roasted malt aroma with liquorice, dried fruits and a light herbal hoppy background. Light-bitter flavour, quite slim bodied for its 6.5% abv. Toast-malty taste with light notes of chocolate and dried fruits; rather dry, moderately bitter and a bit slim finish with a touch of liquorice and herbal hops. Not very complex but likeable brew with attributes of a Schwarzbier.

Medium offwhite head. Deep dark red body. Milky, coffeeish aroma with notes of hops. Deep, coffeeish taste with oily mouthfeel. Burnt, caramelly aftertaste. Good. (0.5l bottle.)

Bottle 0,5l. Deep red brown colour. A creamy "guinness" head. A watery impression. Sampled together with Koff Porter and Haandbryggeriet Porter and was defenitely the less interesting one. Thanks to Rune for bringing it all the way from southern Finland.

5ooml Bottle. Nice dark brown colour, quite malty aroma, bit thin some chocolate in there but not really what I would describe as a Porter.

500ml bottle from Alko in Finland. Nice mahogany colour topped with an enduring off-white head. Malty aroma and instant taste of roasted malt and notes of black coffee. Medium bodied and a bit watery for a porter. Easy to drink. Short finish. Alright, but far from great (03.03.2006).

Bottle. Malty aroma. Dark red/brown colour. Small head. Liquorice flavour and aftertaste. Hard bubbles. Aftertaste leaves a sort of liquorice or anis feel on the tongue. Slightly watery for a porter. OK, but boring.

Bottle at GBBF Dark mahogany. Not a lot of aroma some toffee/caramel but that does not make it too sweet. OK without really going anywhere.

(Bottle 50 cl) Sort of a "historic" Baltic Porter put back into production i 1999. Dark reddish brown rather than porter-black, pretty light brown head. Dry and bitterish but not very fullbodied. Michael Jackson claims that this new version of the beer is more of a dark lager than a porter and I tend to agree. 250903

Bottled. Very dark red colour, mediumsized brown head. Roasted malt and a bit of vanilla in aroma. Wellbalanced beer with soft roasted malt in the flavour. Also hints of alcohol and barley can be found. Dry finish, and not much aftertaste.
