50 cl bottle. Rated on 28.11.2008
Aroma has some sweet, roasted malt and hints of coffee. Flavour has a bit overroasted, almost burned, malt. Some sugar-like sweetness too. Good porter, easy to drink.

Chevy Case Liquor Mart, DC 500ml ($3.25): Pours a very nice black with a proper beige head. Aroma is very fruity and doesn’t really have much in the way of roasted malts, though there is plenty of licorice and I suppose figs or something. Taste is much the same. The front is dominated by that Eastern European candy sweetness and the fruit flavors that go with it and towards the end you finally get a brief taste of the roasted malts. Not my favorite of the style by any means, even though it is perfectly drinkable.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is some dark rasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is at first dark roasted malts with a stong raison and dark fruit. This could almost be considered a dopplebock. Decent but different tasting porter.

Bottle (7.5%). Pours with a very deep, practically black hued body and a tan head that lasts. Good lace. Aromas are sweet and pretty alcoholic. A bit of cloying sweetness. Estery: plums, banana. Malt profile is strong of caramel and molasses. Dark roast is relatively absent. Flavors of alcohol and esters, raisins, plum, banana, dark cherries, and dark fruit. Some molasses. Dark roast flavors are very light (a bit of chocolate). Balance is malt sweetness, medium duration with a bit of a lingering plastic flavor. Some bitterness. Nicely creamy, and warming, body is full with a bit too much residual sweetness for my tastes. Medium to light bubbles.

500ml bottle. Deep brown black with a respectable beige head. Brutal burnt raisin and brown sugar aroma. I never remember Saku being the bomb or anything, but it’s really quite bad now. Extract tasting, thick molasses brown sugar tones. Cheap nonsense beer, the kind that wouldn’t surprise you if it was brewed in radioactive steel kettles. Maybe it’s old, maybe it is just bad.

Bottle 50 cl. Black with a nice light brown head. A sweet malty aroma with a small chocolate sence. The taste is sweet malty, cocolate with some dark fruits sence, full body, nice beginning and ending for this beer.
