A dark-brown beer with a medium and smooth beige head. The nose is nice and balanced, mild roastiness, slightly sour and maybe hint of alcohol. Taste is balanced and malty, medium sweetness, balanced roastiness, some bread. Medium bodied, almost oily to drink. A.Le Coq Porter is quite sweet and thus loyal for baltic porter style. Easy and dark bready beer.

Big offwhite head doesn’t last. Yellow body. Chalky oily apple and peas aroma with alcohol notes. Sweet apple and alcohol taste with chalky notes. Mild, faintly oily mouthfeel with considerable alcohol heat. Dryish floral grassy alcohol aftertaste. The alcohol dominates, making the taste kind of sickly. Did not enjoy. (0.5l bottle, Alko Arkadia, Helsinki.)

500ml Bottle (As Selver Pilsner) - Pale golden in colour. Malty and grassy aroma with some dry cereal and bread notes. Slightly tangy on the tongue at first, the taste is malty with a twist of lemon and very light bitterness. Clean but boring.

Bottle, 4.2%. Bought in Rimi Supermarket, Riga as Walter Gaisas. Quite bready aroma. Clear yellow colour, white head. The flavour is mild and clean. Hint of citrus, slightly below medium bitterness. Boring but flawless (and not even drunk very cold).

Bottle, 4.6%. Clear golden colour, white head. Sparkling. The flavour seems malty at first, but I cannot really determine if it is just because of the massive cardboard flavour. Gets a little grainy in the end, but by some magic not very sour. Low bitterness. On the whole a lot like a German Gold Pils.

Can, 6.5%. Thanks to FatPhil and Anna. Weak roasted aroma, unpleasant fruitiness. Clear dark brown colour. Big, stable, rocky, plasticky, light brown head. The flavour is slightly malty and roasted. A bit of roughness, seems to come from the malt. Some alcohol in the finish.
