Pohjala - Jouluporter (2026)

A gloriously indulgent Christmas creation from Estonia's acclaimed Põhjala Brewery, Jõuluporter is a rich, velvety Imperial Porter brewed with chocolate and designed to bring a little luxury to those long winter evenings.

Pouring an enticing jet-black with subtle ruby highlights and a delicate tan head, this decadent festive treat delivers wonderfully intense aromas of rich chocolate, freshly roasted coffee and dark malt, accompanied by a gentle suggestion of warming cinnamon.

The flavour is beautifully indulgent, opening with luscious waves of creamy milk chocolate and sweet cocoa before developing layers of roasted coffee, toasted grain and rich malt complexity. A carefully balanced roasted bitterness gradually emerges, cutting through the initial sweetness and providing a welcome contrast to its luxurious chocolate character.
