##### Hey everyone! 

##### It's time for another beer review! Today, I'm reviewing a Porter called Must Kuld from the brewery Põhjala. I'm familiar with this brewery, since I have tried some of their products before. They make quality beers, so I'm really looking forward to trying this beer!

##### Description of the beer:

##### "A rich porter with smooth honey notes. Brewed with lactose for that extra silky texture. Enjoy on its own or as a dessert at the end of a decadent meal. Contains barley malt and lactose. Malts: Pale malt, Munich malt, Cara pale, Crystal 50, Crystal 150, Crystal 200, Carafa type 2 special, Chocolate malt, Lactose. Hops: Magnum, Goldings."

##### *Appearance: black color, with a medium brown head.*

##### *Smell: roasted malt, coffee, chocolate.*

##### *Mouthfeel: full body, low carbonation.*

##### *Taste: sweetness, coffee, chocolate, licorice, bitter-sweet aftertaste.*

##### Verdict: Yum! The English name for this beer is “Black Gold” and it really lives up to its name! Definitely one of the best brews I've had in a while now. It's rich with many flavors, I especially like the strong coffee notes.

##### Põhjala has to be one of my favorite breweries in Europe when it comes to dark beers. I am super-impressed with their brewing skills!

##### An outstanding porter! My rating: 4.5 out of 5.
