Saku Estonian Porter
From a 500 ml. bottle with a blurb and serving temperature instructions on the back label, no freshness date I could find. Poured a nice dark caramel brown with a foamy, fluffy head that settled into a thin, tiny bubbly lacing. Aromas of brown breads, caramel, brown sugar, a subtle licorice and a dark rum fruitiness. Even, steady moderate carbonation and a crisp, slick, velvety smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. A slightly different, but still a tasty porter, brown grainy breads covered in caramelized sugar, caramel and toffee, a light dark fruitiness, purple grapes and raisins, the hops are subdued and soft, the alcohol mixes with the fruity flavors and provides a subtle warmth in the palate, and a grain bready, sweet caramel finish. This is a very enjoyable Baltic porter, different, but interesting, tasty and balanced, if you like porters, then you need to try this.
