Stadin Imperial Porter

A black beauty from Finnish capital, 10.5% alc vol with Polaris-hops and lots of malty magic. Head is thin, but visible, beer is black and thick. Very sweet espresso feel with some liquorice and black chocolate maybe as well, but burned malts take the lead after sweetness and finish is nicely dry. This is surprisingly easy-drinkable for such a strong beer; alcohol is not at all noted, but rather very nicely hidden behind nice mixture of porter, imperial stout and black IPA –notions. I liked this “hybrid black” a lot, though it’s not the best of porters (nor imp stouts or black ipas). Still very good.


***+ Very good
