Beer Tasting with The Old Growler - Sinebrychoff Porter Finland

This “Beer with The Old Growler” was recorded at 1700 hours (5:00 PM) on Wednesday, 3 June 2020, and is the 53rd posting of “The Old Growler.” And the 78th day of New York State being under PAUSE or Sheltered in Place.

THE BEER OF THE DAY:

Sinebrychoff Porter

Sinebrychoff AB, Kerava, Finland

7.2% ABV

“Sinebrychoff Porter is a top-fermented dark, almost black, unfiltered beer, with a malty roasted aroma. Four different malts are used for this brew: Pilsner, Münchener, colored, and brown malt. These make up the beer’s characteristic aromas: roastedness, chocolate, coffee, and licorice. Sinebrychoff Porter is generously hopped with Saazer and bittering hops.”

"Rumors have it that the starter sample of the young yeast after World War II was removed from a bottle of naturally-conditioned Guinness..."

M. Jackson [Pocket Guide to Beer, p.70]:
"...the famously satisfying Sinebrychoff Porter...".

“Created by NICOLAI SINEBRYCHOFF in 1819 SINEBRYCHOFF PORTER brewed by the oldest operating brewery in Scandinavia uses four differing malts (Vienna, Munich, Chocolate, Caramel), two types of hops (Hallertau, Saaz) and a fresh young yeast for each new batch [the used yeast is separated not filtered].”

“Primary fermentation takes four weeks at 68oF with another six (6) weeks of warm-conditioning in the tanks at 70F.”

“It is an intense Baltic style porter, very much in the Imperial Style that Emperess Katharina of Russia loved so much. She degreed that "all her soldiers" had to be supplied with it [18th century].”
