Praline Chocolate Porter
Dark forces are at work in this devilishly good Praline Porter. Chocolate and fruit come a-knocking. Soft roasty character, with notes of dark berries, mellow coffee and a subtle nuttiness. This beer was in the knockout stages of Beatnik 2018 - grab a slice while you can.

MALTS: Brown, Cara, Carafa, Crystal, Pale
HOPS: Amarillo, Bramling X
Other: Lactose, demerara sugar, vanilla, honey

3.9 I have purchased this beer, at Amstein, St-Légier. Drinking and enjoying it, at Bonfol, yesterday, at night, the right one for the world of stars. The body is black, opaque with an average carbonation, thin and white/brown foam. This can is close to the wells chocolate stout. Easy stout/porter to drink,watery, mineral, smooth, decent side of chocolat, cake, vanilla, roasted malt and regular hop at the final, not that strong with the aromas.
3.2 Clear bronze color. Aroma: caramel, hops, sweetness, halva, nuts. Sweet taste, caramel, honey, a little hop, soft.
3.4 Can 330ml @ My sisters place Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, metal and cocoa. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with a long chocolate, cocoa and roasted finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.
3.9 Pleasant easy to drink. Bitter with a slight sweet taste.
3.7 Can courtesy of SimonTomlinson via the RB EU 2019-3 trade. Thanks! Dark brown with a frothy, beige head. Aroma of licorice, vanilla, chocolate, honey. Nice. Taste is very mildly bitter up front with Snickers Bar and honey sweetness carrying the finish. Body is medium with a hint of water on the texture. Pleasant.
3.8 Can from Geers. Pours hazy dark brown-black with a lasting, small, frothy, beige head. Aroma of chocolate praliné, dark toffee, vanilla, cappuccino, hazelnut, peanut, prune, toast, tobacco. Taste has sweet chocolate praliné, toffee, cake & prune, softly bitter fondant & toast with a nutty edge. Dry, toasty finish, some sweet tobacco, lingering dried fruit & praliné. Medium body, creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Nice, gentle Porter.
3.3 0,33l bottle. BBE 14.6.2020, so actually quite old bottle. This is 5% version. Dark brown beer with huge light brown cloudy and stable head. Aroma has sweet malts, vanilla and hints of coffee, nuts and chocolate. Flavor has slightly roasted malts with vanilla, some coffee, ashes and bitter notes. Medium- body, not very strong. Decent beer.
3.8 A smell of malt and chocolate, quite nice. The small brown creamy head disappears fast, the body is black. A taste of roasted malt, chocolate, quite bitter. The body is medium strong, creamy with a lively carbonation.
2.4 Dark sexy praline porter.
3.4 330ml can, 5.0 % abv, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Pours a deep dark brown body under a steady beige head leaving clingy lacing on the glass. Smooth smell of chocolate and nuts. Mid-sweet chocolate flavours, slightly o'boy like, joined by moments of toffee. Lightly roasted malty ending. Easy to drink. Pretty good. (Tromsø 03.06.2020).
3.2 Can 33 cl. Pours a clear, orangey brown with a huge and steady light brown head, lots of lacework. Sweet vanilla and chocolate candy in the nose, slight roast. Fairly light in body, sweet vanilla again and a surprisingly lazy carbonation. Usually these flavored Stouts are stronger, but I reckon this would've been utterly cloying if it had been. 290520

3.2 September 12, 2019 - at BrewDog (Soho), on keg draught. Deep clear ruby-black with a lovely small but lasting creamy tan head. Light roast aroma, rather sweet, some licorice and a hint of root beer; floral, light alcohol. Taste follows, some coffee to the roast, but very sweet - like a root beer candy. Airy, light mouthfeel, not sticky at least, finishes quick, some burnt coffee in the aftertaste. Okay.
