Sori Brewing Coffee Gorilla Baltic Porter Appearance- jet black, completely opaque, with a big beige head which settles down into half a finger. Aroma- much more hoppy than expected, orange peel, coffee hints, chocolate orange, spicy hints, hop resin. Taste- lots of coffee, toast, dark malts, dark chocolate, liquorice hops, fruity hints, for example oranges. Freshly roasted coffee beans. Dry roasted bitter finish. Nice, almost like a black IPA.

On tap (Sori Havana Gose with Lime & Mint) at Pudel, Tallinn. Close to clear orange to amber with a fast dissipating head. Fairly mild fruity aroma with notes of citrus and mint. Moderate sweet with nice acidity and a flavour that in the end reminds me a little bit of watered out Caipirinha. Guess the lime and mint combination works with beer too, then. Quite refreshing, but as with caipirinha I guess it would be nicer on a hot summer day or in more topical areas than on a winter day in Tallinn. Still quite nice and certainly more refreshing than expected.

33cl bottle from SIP veini- ja õllepood, Tallinn. Pours hazy amber with a fairly modest, white head. Very fruity aroma with lots of tropical fruits, some citrus and hints of malt and caramel. Moderate to medium sweet with nice, but fairly mild fruity and hoppy flavours and a balanced bitterness. Tasty and well crafted IPA.

A colablack beer, a head is quite small and light brown. Aroma is great, strong coffee, nice sweet maltyness and dark chocolate, low roastiness and liquirice, also hint of riped fruits. Taste has lots of coffee, balanced sweetness, some refreshning herbs and sharpness of coffee. Medium bodied, slippery, easy to drink. Great beer. Strong coffee, but it’s nicely balanced with other elements. Very succesfully beer.

A colablack beer, a head is medium and light brown. Interesting and not an usual aroma. Weird and strong spicyness of anise and ginger, liquirice, some roastiness and vanilla. Taste has roastiness, black coffee, anice, some ginger. Medium+ bodied, smooth enough. Notes of ginger are quite weird, since that’s not used. More balanced as the temperature is warmer. Unique beer.

Tap at Hopfenreich. Slight hazy light golden with white head. Light dough and gooseberries, fresh mint, lime, bit of the Margharita I had earlier comes to mind again, though that had way more aroma than this. It’s really fresh with the lime and mint quite in the background. Light sour, just a hint of sweetness and The salt is also light here. Thin bodied.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - batch 023 - BB 27112016, from Alko Viikki, 20151215) The beer poured clear and nearly black. Its head was medium sized, lightly brown and it lasted long. Aroma had coffee, burnt malts and cream. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, coffee, ash, chocolate and bitterness. Aftertaste had coffee, burnt malts and bitterness. A rather tasty coffee infused stout.

Bottle @ home. Opaque dark brown to black color, medium to full sized light brown head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, dark malts, espresso and some herbs or spices. Tastes about the same: malts, dark malts, not a lot of coffee or espresso but the spices or herbs are there again to dominate. Lightly a touch of liquorice. Too much herbs or spices for me to like it, at least that’s what it reminds me of. Even though the label says it’s got bourbon vanilla cocoa nibs.

Tap at Hopfenreich. Slight hazy copper with fluffy almost white head. Lime, grapefruit peel, light orange blossom, flower honey, mango, light pine resin. All backed with sweet caramel malts but very well befitting the hops. Medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with a bit sticky feel. Nice one.
