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.

Dark brown/ruby color. Brown head is vanishing quite quickly. Dark malty dunkel-like aroma with the notes of vanilla and milk chocolate. Taste is quite malty and alcoholic, mouthfeel is suprisingly thinner than could expect. Short dry finish. I prefer Saku Porter.

Brown amber color; poor head stability. Simple aroma. Caramel taste, quite sweet; no character, not enough malty, poor hop.

A dark redbrown beer with a small fine head. The aroma is sweet, malty, and perfumated. The flavor is very sweet,only slightly smoked, and slightly bitter. It doesn't have the flavor nor the body of a porter in my universe. Pretty watery for a porter. A boring beer. It's not a bad beer - just not a porter - it would be OK if it was a Vienna style.

(500 ml bottle). Reddish brown colour, decent head. Aroma of caramel and leather. Not as sweet as I expected. Malty caramel flavour with just a slight roastiness, in a blind test I would surely classify this beer as a strong dunkel, not a Baltic porter. Relatively thin bodied, not nearly as good as their Jõuluporter (Christmas Porter). Disappointing for its style, if disregarding style you may find this as a decent and drinkable beer.
