The Põhjala Õhtu – Estonian for "evening" – is a velvety-seductive porter with 5.5% ABV from the renowned Estonian craft brewery Põhjala, founded in 2011 by four passionate beer enthusiasts in Tallinn. Since then, it has developed into one of the most recognized craft breweries in Northern Europe through inexhaustible experimentation, Estonian ingredients, and the expertise of Scottish head brewer Chris Pilkington. As the brewery's lightest dark beer to date, the Õhtu combines a creamy body with notes of chocolate and vanilla, while the special combination of lactose, oats, and rye gives the beer an unusually soft, velvety texture and a flattering depth, complemented by hazelnut and coffee notes, evoking a relaxed, enjoyable evening by the fireplace. The Põhjala Õhtu is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a high-quality, accessible, and masterfully crafted Estonian porter that impresses as an elegant companion to chocolate desserts, aged cheeses, and quiet autumn evenings, as well as a flavorful expression of one of the most creative and bold craft breweries in the Baltics.
