Bottled. Near black, rich head. Roasty with notes of coffee and some sourish malt. Some nice malt flavours doesn’t overcome the fact that the body is thin and the mouthfeel rather sharp. Ashy finish.

Bottled. Nut brown, brief head. Neutral aroma. Sweet with clean hard mouthfeel with light-medium body. No bitterness. Attempting a style where mouthfeel and malt character plays such a significant part when you are Hartwall is asking for trouble...

Can. Pale golden with small white head. Nice mouthfeel, but in general quite uninteresting. Not offensive, just boring. Nice as a thirst-quencher when hot. (051003)

Bottled. Black colour with red hints, brown mediumsized head. Vegetably malt in aroma along with metallic hints. Vegetables and a bit coffee in flavour. Weak roasted malt in aftertaste, but I doubt this has anything to do with a porter...

Bottled. Dark copper coloured, mediumsized bubbly head. Vegetably malts in aroma. Vegetably malts and some hops in flavour. Wellbalanced, and very pleasant beer. Sweet caramelly malty aftertaste.

Bottled (BB 05/2006)
Almost opaque black, good tanned head. Very metallic malty, slightly roasted and grassy hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied, dry, slightly roasted. Lacks character and needs higher ABV! This is actually dark lager, not porter.

Bottled. Pale yellow with fizzy, brief head. Aroma of apple and toffee. Sweet and raw, heavy on vegetables, cider and glue. Sharp, fizzy mouthfeel. Offensive and only consisting of flaws with no redeeming features.

(Bottle 33 cl) Comes as "Lapin Kulta Premium". Golden with a small, creamy head. Very pronounced malt-sweetness with only a small, discreet hoppiness in the palate. Good, full-bodied pilsener. 250505
