Dark full-bodied beer
Alcohol content: 6.5 %
Package: 0.5 l glass bottle
A.Le Coq Porter is a strong dark beer that can rightfully be considered to be the successor of the world-famous "Imperial Extra Double Stout." Its mature character and perfect taste are derived from sparkling spring water and extra dark caramel-malt. In spite of its strength this historical dark beer has a mellow taste and is pleasant to drink.

[1] Review by Jutumull from Tallinn, Estonia who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/5/2006 6:59:41 AM)
"Very dark red color. Good flavor. Nice porter type beer. This is actually worth trying cold too. Not as other porters, which I prefer a bit warmer. (Not that other porters need to be +30 Celsius, but those are better in room temperature to get the taste out better)."

[2] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer (1/12/2006 8:16:10 PM)
"Bottled. Very dark red colour, mediumsized brown head. Roasted malt and a bit of vanilla in aroma. Wellbalanced beer with soft roasted malt in the flavour. Also hints of alcohol and barley can be found. Dry finish, and not much aftertaste."

[3] Review by Bov from Bienne, Switzerland who has tried this beer once. (10/16/2005 3:44:08 PM)
"bottled - dark-brown colour with a decent head and a correct lacing; slightly nutty and caramelish aroma; quite light-bodied for a porter but still complex enough to make it a good beer"

[4] Review by Sigmund from Hafrsfjord, Norway who has tried this beer once. (1/10/2005 5:32:10 PM)
"(500 ml bottle). Reddish brown colour, decent head. Aroma of caramel and leather. Not as sweet as I expected. Malty caramel flavour with just a slight roastiness, in a blind test I would surely classify this beer as a strong dunkel, not a Baltic porter. Relatively thin bodied, not nearly as good as their Jõuluporter (Christmas Porter). Disappointing for its style, if disregarding style you may find this as a decent and drinkable beer."
