    500 ml bottle, simply named Saku Porter, from a potential importer. ABV is 6.9%. New bottle and label design, quite stylish. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Large tan head. Malty aroma, notes of brown bread and caramel, okay but not very exciting. The flavour is also very malty with caramel and bready notes, also some burnt sugar and burnt breadcrumbs. Minimal hops. Nice enough to drink.

    Great looking deep dark pour with a high head with good retention and lacing. Nose full of prunes and roasted malt. Thin mouthfeel, a flavor with some sweetness and dark fruits, but also some cardboard. Not a go-to for my Baltic Porter needs. I'll take Okocim over this one any day.

    Dark brown colour, huge brown foamy head. Roasted malt as well as old coffee in aroma. Roasted malt in flavour along with licorace and coffee. Sting of alcohol present too. Roasted ryebread in aftertaste.

    Pours deep mahogony with a slight haze. Firm creamy off white head. Sweetly spice with aromas of dried fruits, prunes (for sure), and a modest chocolate. Heavy on malts. Alcohol has faded away. Initially roasty and full of caramel with burnt wooden tobacco flavours. Softened quickly into more chocolate and earthy malts. Body is creamy and lightly carbonated. Nots as much punch as I would have expected from a beer of this style. Long but somewhat washed out finish.

    Pours with a reddish-brown body topped by a medium thick lasting head with some lace. not very dark for a porter. Sweet fruity (apples?) malt aroma with caramel and a slight hint of alcohol. Sweet malt flavor with caramel and fruity notes and a slight bitterness from hops. Full bodied, tingly and a touch dry. This beer reminds me more of an English strong/old ale or a scottish ale than a porter.

    Quite good for porter, but we have better porter-type beers in here, Estonia
