What about the beer?
Colour is black with a small tan head. Aroma has roasted malts, sweet black coffee and spices. Taste begins with sweet roast. Sweet charcoal-roasted malts take over with coffee and vanilla notes. Gentle bitterness grows towards the end
with some dark fruits showing up. Aftertaste has sweet malts, charred roast and some bitter dryness.
Tasty Porter with a hint of vanilla. Roasted malts and gentle bitterness dominate smoothly, while coffee, vanilla and dark fruits stay in the backgorund. Would match nicely with good dark
chocolate. More character could probably be available with a higher abv and a larger bunch of vanilla, but this was nicely tender.
Ölbeat
Even though the brewery is playing with names here (one translation for 'vahtimestari' is 'porter'), couldn't match the beer with any of the doorkeeper-themed songs. The door was left open for the soft and calm side of the brew. So this ballad with Amy Lee's beautiful vocals turned up.

From the 2006 album The Open Door, the song was written by Amy Lee.
