Põhjala's Öö XO is an Imperial Baltic Porter aged in cognac barrels, delivering 11.5% ABV with uncommon refinement. This Estonian brewery has mastered the craft of barrel aging, and the Öö XO showcases that expertise. Dark malts create a silky foundation layered with red fruit, honey and liquorice, while cognac maturation adds sophistication without dominating the porter's character.

Coffee, dark chocolate and caramel lead the aroma, with subtle liqueur undertones. Rich and intense yet balanced—the alcohol feels supportive rather than intrusive. This is a contemplative glass for those seeking depth and nuance, not a casual evening pour.
