(0,5 liter bottle.) Whooa... an Estonian Christmas porter, available in Norway, even! I haven''t sampled their ordinary porter (yet), this one is 1% stronger and probably more spicy, to obtain a "real" Christmas character. Dark brown colour, low head, lightly roasted spicy coffee aroma and flavour, decent bitterness in the aftertaste. Lots of delicious flavour and sufficient alcohol here, still a bit thin mouthfeel (probably because it''s bottom fermented) - which, however, will not stop me from buying this goody again. I had it on its own, must also be a great accompaniment with Nordic Christmas fare in the rougher end of the scale. All in all a Christmas beer to be recommended.
