BrewDog Alice Porter (5.2%)

First brewed in 2010, Alice Porter was returned as a Jan-Mar special in 2015. Brewed to a slightly different recipe and a lower abv than the original, this entry is only for the new-style labelled 5.2% version. Any remaining bottles of the 6.2% Alice Porter should be entered under that, now retired, beer.

3.3 330 ml. bottle. BBF 19/02/16. Very dark furniture brown, touch black, some mocha bubbles, head doesn’t last. Nose is herbal, touch oxidized, herbal mocha, some light cheesy hops in the back, touch umami, lightly. Taste is soy sauce, umami, light oxidation, herbal, licorice, feels bit faded, touch watery, leaves, light roast, touch umami smoke, faint very light herbal cheese. Light touch watery, some oxidation. The previous version was okay looking at my notes but this is a bit too soy sauce, touch watery, a bit too much furniture, odd smoke, herbal with some oxidation for me. Didn’t care too much for this one.

3.1 Decent, but kinda underpowered. Some roast, some coffee, light vanilla, bit bready. Moderate sweet with light bitterness, bit watery, feels off balance, drinkable tho

3.6 Bottle at Beerville store in Belgrade-Serbia. Ciao Vlada. Pours black color, just a bit coffee bean, with a tick cappuccino foamy head. Nose: red under spirit fruit, whiskey, some vanilla. So different. Mouth: it stays quite esile as a porter should be but with a richer character. Some licorice, coffee powder with sugar. The end is aggressively bitter for a Porter. This is a Porter which talks to an Imperial (BA) Stout. Interesting.

3.9 Dark colored, small brown head. Dark chocolate and cocoa aroma, sweet dark chocolate taste, medium body, soft carbonation, oily texture. Still great. //Pivoteka

4.4 Pours, black with not much head. nice bitter chocolate, coffee. Nicely drinkable.

3.3 Aroma: Roasted malts, bread, chocolate, coffee. Appearance: Black beer with a small off-white head. Taste/Palate: Moderately sweet and slightly bitter towards the end.

3.3 Pours brown with a home brew aroma and hints of malt. Thin head. Flavour profile is like a bitter burnt malteaser with choc malt and charcoal.

3.3 Vähän haljuhko porteriksi. Jopa pieni pettymys Brewdogin tuotteeksi. Ei huono, muttei ilmiömäinen.

3.9 5.2%abv. Purchased in BottleDog, Merchant City. Coffee, dark chocolate and sugar aroma, very nice. Black colour and brown head. Light bitterness and chocolate finish. Was expecting a more aggressive palate. Soft carbonation.

3.5 Bottle from Brewdog, Brussels. Dark brown/black colour, beige foam. Medium carbonation. Nose of coffee and roasted malts. Bitter finish. Bit thin but easy drinkable.

3.5 0,33l fles uitgeschonken zwart met een fijne creme kraag. Geur is likeur met koffie en 80% pure chocolade. In de smaak ook duidelijk een zoete noet met cranberry, pure chocolade en in de afdronk meer espresso. Mooi bier voor 5%. Body medium en CO2 laag zoals het hoort.

3.0 Drank with Bram at his place 22-10-2015. Mediocre beer. Good smell but taste is very watery. Not something to get psyched about.

3.8 0.33l bottle from britishstore.hu. Almost black body, dark brown head, looks perfect. Moderate chocolate aromas. Head is very creamy, tastes like fluid bitter chocolate, quite nice. The beer has fairly complex taste, dominated with chocolate, some nuttyness and a bit of roasted malt and some yeasty sourness.. Very mild, creamy and harmonic carbonation and mild but long-lasting bitterish aftertaste. Fairly good piece, the next please!

3.6 Dark brown to black colored, medium tan head, good lasting. Aroma is brown sugar, chocolate, strong roasted and ashy notes. Taste is moderate sweet malt, brown sugar, milk chocolate, roasted malt, charcoal, roasted dry bitter finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bit creamy. (bottle, Pivoteka, Zagreb)

2.8 Bottle. Dark brown in color with an off-white head. Mild soft roasted notes with some chocolate sweetness in aroma. Mild roasted and bit of green vibes in taste. The greenish notes are a bit too much here.

3.4 Very black porter with a nearly white head. Tastes of bitter chocolate and coffee and a slight fruitiness. Lacking a depth of flavour, but still a good beer.
