Founders Porter

Pours silky black with a creamy tan head. The nose is sweet with strong chocolate and caramel malt presence. No absence of hops gives Founders’ robust porter the full flavor you deserve and expect. Cozy like velvet. It’s a lover, not a fighter.

4.2 Bottle from Dranken Verheyen in Poppel, Belgium. The beer is black colored with a stable creamy foam. Carbonation is good. The aroma is malts, citrus, caramel, roasteld malts, chocolate, coffee and spices. The taste is medium bodied and sweet with caramel and roasted malts and goes to bitterness with coffee, spices and chocolate. The finish is dry, bitter and leaves some coffee notes. Very nice!

3.6 적은 거품에 진한 구수한 풍미가 있음 탄산이 적으며 부드럽고 약간의 기분좋은 쓴맛이 뒤따름 7,500원

3.9 Aroma of dark coffee malts. Poured black tan lace. Taste is medium sweet to bitter with excellent dark fruits. Medium bodied smooth texture soft carbonation and a bitter finish. Deserves its fame.

3.8 Lovely beer. Smooth, drinkable, a little tobacco but mainly the coffee, toffee, chocolate type notes you get from these beers. Not as complex as a stout but very sessionable

3.9 Colore nero, schiuma marrone poco persistente. Al naso cioccolato, caffè tostato, vaniglia, leggere note di tabacco. Al palato cioccolato, malti tostati, il gusto si mantiene sul dolce, nel finale si una leggerissima nota amara, impercettibile carbonazione. Una birra intensa negli aromi e ben bilanciata, facile da bere, il corpo è medio leggero, rappresenta perfettamente il genere.

4.3 Black with a creamy head. Chocolate and coffee flavours are there, along with a few other interesting and pleasant flavours. Easy to drink but quite complex. Thought this might be a great beer but its not, just a very good one. Highly recommended. File under everyone must try this one.

3.5 Pours pitch black with a dense and quite big off-white/grey head that shows quite good retention and some lacing. A simple, straightforward aroma of roasted malts with espresso coffee notes, plus light, bitter chocolate notes. A very clean but not too deep aroma, and also quite subdued. Taste notes are brighter and a bit richer: a quite strong roasted malts base, approaching the dry acidic feel of some examples of the style; notes of espresso coffe, bitter chocolate and maybe a hint of anise. Balance is on the bitter side in both taste and aftertaste, but there's some softness to it, resulting in a pleasant and balance overall experience. Medium body with quite low, light-bubbled carbonation, resulting in a nice semi smooth, semi soft mouthfeel. What i found is a simple and straightforward but well crafted interpretation of the style.

4.1 Bottle 355ml. Ink black with a fluffy beige head. Beautiful siruppy in the glass. Aroma of wood, cigars, reminds me also of anice? The taste is bitter with hints of dark chocolate and a bit metallic even which gets stronger in the aftertaste. Something completely different but I like it.

3.3 Creamy coffee aroma. Hardly any head. Sweet coffee flavour. Thicker texture.

3.8 bottle at home, black beer, small head. Aroma is chocolate, malt, roast, hint of coffee. Taste is the same, bitter, chocolate, light sweet, very nice.

4.3 No me extraña las puntuaciones que les dan otros usuarios. Es una cerveza perfecta.

4.0 Powerful aromas of milk chocolate and brownies with intense roasting. Thick foam, very dense and very persistent on a black liquid and quite opaque. The flavors are quite roasted with notes of dark toast, chocolate and coffee that drag until the finish. The finish is very dry and carries a good bitterness of roasted cereals that persists for several seconds. The flavors of hops are rather weak, but we detect a slight coniferous resin. The body is however quite thin compared to other examples of the style. A Porter rich and full of flavors. Excellent example of style. Aromes puissants de chocolat au lait, de brownies assorties d’une intense torréfaction. Mousse épaisse, bien dense et très persistante sur un liquide noir et assez opaque. Les saveurs sont passablement torréfiées avec des notes de pain grillé, de chocolat et de café qui trainent jusqu’en finale. La finale est bien sèche et traine une bonne amertume de céréales torréfiées qui persiste plusieurs secondes. Les saveurs de houblons sont plutôt faibles mais on y décèle une légère résine de conifère. Le corps est cependant assez mince comparé aux autres exemples du style. Un Porter riche et plein de saveurs. Excellent exemple du style. O:7.125 V:4.080 G:9.056 C:4.058 G:15.45 T:39.769

4.4 Amertume modérée Arôme caramel et café très prononcé

5.0 Chocolate, Coffee, Malts, Perfect.

4.5 Founders Porter 6.5%. Blackish brown, dark chocolate and coffee aroma, full bodied, dark chocolate malt, dark caramel, coffee, smoky finish. Stunning Porter from Grand Rapids, Michigan 🇺🇸

4.2 Excelente porter premiada como la 4° mejor del mundo en su categoría. Cerveza negra, buena espuma de retención media y muy fina a pesar de su apariencia. Dulce con chocolate y café prevaleciendo, bastante rica cómo un postre.

3.8 Light brown creamy full lasting head. Black colour. Aroma is malty, roasty with coffee, cocoa powder and licorice notes. Flavor is malty with dark chocolate and gently roasty tones, ending in a silky and chocolatey finish. Medium bodied.

4.1 355ml from Doreca drinks shop in Rome drinking 03/12/2021 bottled on 08.25.20 Pours a nice black body with large frothy dark brown head and strong sticky lacing. Aroma of roasted malts and cocoa, dried fruit and prunes, licorice, chocolate, caramel. Taste is rich and sweet, with notes of roasted malt, caramel and smoke at first, coffee, dried fruit and chocolate and a velvety silky palate, really pleasant, a much more pronounced very hoppy and bitter finish still with dominant roasted malt and chocolate notes, really drinkable and not too intense though, really easy and smooth. Great aftertaste. Surprisingly no alcohol detected for 6.5% abv. Thick medium to full body and smooth creamy-watery texture, soft carbonation. Really easy and balanced porter, absolutely lovely and great tasting, even quite hoppy.

3.9 355ml bottle from Albert Heijn. Pours brown, blackish, small tan head. Gone fast. Aroma's of coffee, deep caramelized sugar, molasses, cigars, earthy hops. Feels much stronger than the actual ABV. Very balanced and rather slick too.

3.6 Flaska från SB. Svart kulör med brun skumkrona. Doft och smak av kavring, mörk choklad, kakao och lite kaffe. Torr munkänsla.

4.2 Bottle 35.5cl @home poured into a shaker. Opaque deep brown colour with a ruby hue, good stable frothy tan head, good lacing. Rich aroma, roasted malts, cocoa, cocoa powder, black coffee, liquorice, hint of smoke, faint notes of dark spices. Thick velvetty taste, medium sweet and bitter, malty, dark chocolate, dark hard candy, coffee groundings, some liquorice, dark spices, light retronasal smokiness. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation, lingering roasty sweetbitter aftertaste with chocolate and coffee notes, well-balanced, rich and round, a feast to drink, excellent stuff.

4.6 Tap @ BeerTemple, Amsterdam X 2021. Knapgemaakte droge gerookte mout stout. Die ik toevallig bij BeerTemple aan de tap dronk en paar dagen later in het schap van AH weer terug vond. Me eerste review wijkt niet veel af van de tweede gebottelde review. Fantastische geroosterde droge koffie chocolade mout stout die vol in smaak zit. Waarbij de koffie over de chocolade heerst. Laag in zijn koolzuur en redelijk vloeibaar maar fantastische diep bruine kleur die perfect bij de diep droge intense smaak past. Hoeveel moersleutel stouts je er ook tegen aan gooit dit is een klassieker waar geen noviteit tegen gewassen is. Geroosterde chocolade koffie mout geur. Waarbij de geur weer de koffie overheerst. Maar!!!!! In de rematch rustig thuis i.p.v. de kroeg. Kan je pas echt de subtiliteit van deze vol van smaak zijnde Porter genieten. Waarbij deze Porter alleen maar naar nog grotere hoogtes stijgt. BeerTemple 4,2 nu 4,5 points from homebase. Proefglas

3.3 It pours opaque black; the head is caramel colored in foamy. The aroma has notes of: coffee, chocolate, burnt sugar, iron, and licorice. The taste is lightly sweet that finishes medium bitter. The palate is medium bodied, with medium carbonation, in the long irony finish. Overall, it's pleasant but not remarkable.

4.2 Color negro, opaca. Espuma marrón claro, cremosa, de más de un dedo de espesor y buena retención. Aroma medio intenso, maltas tostadas, caramelo, leve pan negro, granos de café y azúcar moreno. Sabor intenso, maltas tostadas, regaliz muy aromático, con recuerdos de anís, caramelo, ligero café y ceniza, final largo, amargor entre tostado y cafetoso y dulzor acaramelado medio bajo, posgusto aromático muy satisfactorio, alcohol bien integrado.
