Porterhouse Wrasslers XXXX
XXXX! That’s good!
XXXX refers to the alcohol level and the depth of flavour in this stout. Our kettle hops drum up a fabulous aroma, flaked barley delivering big time on texture and the darkly roasted grain building a flavour as solid as a rock. Not for the faint hearted. Can you handle it?
Malts: Ale Malt, Wheat Malt, Dextrin Malt, Oat Malt, Vienna Malt
Hops: Nugget, Centennial, Amarillo, Cascade, Mosaic, Citra

0.33 l bottle, thanks Marko! Shared with PBF Baby Driver and Mlađo Mods. Dark. Licorice and soy sauce, coffee with sugar, dark chocolate. Dry and very roasty finish. Slightly herbal, light candy. Medium body, moderate carbonation, sticky, lasting finish.
33 cl fles. Helder donker bruin van kleur, fijne romige bruine schuimkraag. De geur is chocolade en karamel. Smaak is zoet/zuur, koffie, citrus en chocolade. Vol lichaam, veel koolzuur.
Cerveza stout de cuerpo denso y sabor intenso con notas de mokka y chocolate
Bottle. Pours a really nice black/dark brown, with a mocha lacing. Lots of dark chocolate and roast coffee aroma. Creamy/oily mouthfeel, lots of malts and barley in the flavour, with a chocolatey finish. Slightly watery mouthfeel, but also makes it quite drinkable. Goooood.
0,4l on tap @ Old Story. Pours very dark brown with a medium creamy tan head. Aroma is dry roasted malts with coffee. Flavor is dry roasted malts, ashtray, coffee, hops. Very good.
Tap @ Maltainen Riekko. Pitch black with light head. Char, chocolate, toast. Sticky, full-bodied, a bit coarse. Long grainy palate.
I imagine that this should be the standard for this style of stouts. Near perfect appearance. Sweet chocolate malty flavor...creamy texture. My second sample from porterhouse which i liked better than their oyster stout. This is a beer that i would get again for sure.
Aroma of coffee, chocolate, soy sauce, leather and smoke. Black with a tan head. Medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium + body with average to soft carbonation. Dry and bitter finish. Overall a nice stout. Very enjoyable.
Full stout de 5,5 % abv, ce qui est modeste .. mais grandiose en conclusion.
Malts pale, roast et black, plus des flocons d'orge.
Houblonnage en galena, nugget et east Kent goldings.
Mon exemplaire était à 21 mois après sa date, ravi d'y être ..
et moi aussi (parce qu'il m'avait invité à la party …).
J'adore cette dénomination de xxxx, parce qu'elle me fait penser
immanquablement bien sûr au triple que l'on marquait de 3 x,
et donc ici on aurait une sorte de quadruple, mais dans le sens bien sûr
d'une bière noire .. un genre de noir absolu .. ou un trou noir !!
Couleur noir d'encre (on le serait pour moins …).
Mousse brun moyen, très fine, stable à 2 mm sur toute la dégustation.
Arômes de crayon noir, charbon en coke, cendres de chêne.
1ère bouche souple, sur un ensemble malt torréfié/fumée/cendres.
Arrière-bouche dense, forte, longue, superbe.
2ème bouche extraordinaire de force, puissance et aussi d'abstraction
dans le noir (mais ça, c'est un peu plus compliqué à comprendre …).
Arrière-bouche qui donne un feeling splendide du dry stout.
Longueur qui roule sur des galets d'or, elle n'a qu'à assurer l'entame …
Elle le fait avec une beauté et une ardeur au travail incroyable.
Elle parvient à donner de la ganache dans les nuances de cendre !!
c'est strictement prodigieux.
Jambes fines, denses, très longues.
Levure fine, précise, un peu sur les champignons, grande ligne.
Alcool incroyable pour son faible niveau, il assure comme un " grand ".
Finale savoureuse à souhait (avec des nuances de noisette en prime).
CONCLUSION : très grand dry stout, que seuls pouvaient nous servir
les irlandais, eux qui sont les parents extraordinaires de la Guinness …
La recette de ce dry stout date d'ailleurs des environs de 1900 !!
Les Dubliners, sublime groupe folk, ont de grands jours devant eux !!
Et mon ami Rory Gallagher serait heureux de boire ce stout avec moi !!
Je l'ai enfin trouvée, Rory, celle que je t'avais promise, et je te la dois bien.
Je te la dédie entièrement, avec plein de larmes dans les yeux .. Paix à toi.
Draught at Porterhouse Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland (€2.75/half). Poured an opaque black with 5mm of light tan dense foam that retained extremely well and laced extremely well. Aroma not over-whelming of dark fruits, roasted coffee and sweetness. Taste of dark chocolate with slight coffee, sweet vanilla and milk all with a slight bitterness. Medium body. Smooth, very creamy and slightly dry. Very nice.
330ml bottle from Otdokhni in Moscow. Pours black with a creamy tan head. Aroma is coffee, dried fruits, roasted malt. Taste is roasted malt and coffee, a bit earthy, very dry. Medium bitter finish.
En copa, cerveza negra con una generosa capa de espuma blanco hueso. Aromamuy cafetero, con notas de chocolate negro, frutos secos como nueces, y un fondo suave de vainilla. En boca, resulta bastante ligera para ser una stout, nada oleosa, muy seca, y con la clásica amargor a malta torrefacta. Se nota la presencia de cereales muy tostados, junto con café y chocolate negro. Una Dry Stout muy interesante, aunque le falta algo de cuerpo.
Color negro, completamente opaca, dos dedos de espuma cremosa beige con buena retención. Aroma a grano tostado y ligero chocolate negro. Gusto torrefacto, malta tostada casi quemada, regaliz, terrosa, un punto ahumado, final de trago seco y amargo. Cuerpo semioleoso. Una dry stout de manual, muy correcta y fiel al estilo, que además me trae muy buenos recuerdos de cuando vivía en Dublin justo delante del @porterhousebrewco de Temple Bar.
Bottle. Opaque deep brown to black. Moderate well-lacing head of beige colour. Aroma: roast, coffee, earth, a bit vinous. Light to medium body. Taste: fairly dry, very roasted, a fair amount of coffee and cream. Earthy and citrusy bitterness. Light plus hopping. Outstanding dry stout.
"Stout jaki pijał twój dziadek."
Wygląd:
Ciemnobrązowe, prawie czarne.
Piana tworzy się niechętnie i szybko opada.
Zapach:
Wyraźna miodowa nuta utlenienia (data ważności do 19.12.2015), czekolada, lekka mleczność, karmel.
Smak:
Spalony spód od ciasta drożdżowego ze śliwkami. Bardzo wytrawny, długa zalegająca chmielowo czekoladowa goryczka, konkretna paloność, lekka kwaśność.
Podsumowanie:
Mimo, że piwo jest prawie 3 lata po terminie to dalej jest bardzo dobre. Najlepszy Dry Stout jakiego miałem okazję pić.
Draft at the source. Very dark brown with a creamy, tan head. Aroma is chocolate, ink, acids. Taste is bitter, full of ink, coffee and varnish. Finishes the same. Medium body. The only dud I had at the Porterhouse.
Аромат строгого жженого солода. Немного сухой,горький, кофейный. Цвет темный, с отличной кофейной пеной. Вкус сразу показывает себя с горькой стороны, в хорошем смысле. Ощущается питкость и карбонизация сухого стаута. Послевкусие немного суховатое, не острое. С хорошей шоколадно-кофейной горчинкой. Ничего необычного не заметил.
Bevuta alla spina. Colore nero con schiuma colore cappuccino. Aroma tostato, caramello. Al naso piena avvolgente con un finale persistente.
Dark brown tan head. Old leather soaked in Ruby port dry as hell with a slightly tarte finish.
(draught) deep ruby colour with a creamy beige head. aroma of cherry skins, dried prunes and toasted malts, with a faint hint of herbal hops and wax. flavour is mostly bubble gum and peach yoghurt, slightly yeasty, with some notes of sugar icing and a lingering roasted-bitter finish. medium-bodied with soft carbonation.
On tap @ Pez Tortilla
Black color, light beige head with good retention. Aroma has notes of coffee beans, licorice and roasted malts. Flavor is slightly bittery, notes of black chocolate and coffee are highly present. Roasty final with dense mouthfeel.
Botella 33 cl en el Artesana Oviedo 05..01..2018. (r528). Sin lote fcpref 29..09..2018. Color negro intenso con poca espuma beige que desaparece al poco. Sabores maltosos tostados con suaves especiados, levaduras. Cuerpo ligero a medio algo seco y poca densidad. Normal.
Röstiger, weich herber Beginn. Süffig, steigende Intensität, holzig werdend. Cremig, langer Nachhall, gelungen. 12/9/10/9//9
Draft @ Porterhouse, Temple Bar. Pitch black with a beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, some dark chocolate, espresso and hops. Taste follows aroma plus tobacco. The hops are much more prominent in this one than in Porterhouse's other Stouts/Porters. Nice dry hoppy finish. Very balanced. Medium carbonation. A very lovely Stout.
Color negro con capa de espuma marrón de tres dedos de grosor (apariencia de espuma de afeitar y muy buena retención). Carbonatación media. Textura oleosa y ligeramente chispeante. Aroma a lúpulo, herbal, malta torrefacta. Extraño y difícil de definir. En boca muy torrefacta y ligeramente herbal, con presencia de café, terrosa. Amarga desde el inicio del trago y con una sequedad notable. Postgusto bastante amargo.
Aroma: toast aroma, with some roasty hints and some chocolate
Appearance: dark, with a tan head
Taste: light sweetness
Palate: medium body, with an oily texture and lively carbonation. It presents a long finish.
Bottle. Black color with beige head. Aroma is a touch butter, chocolate. Taste is buttery, earthy, roasted malts, very bitter finish. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Not for me.
Back log entry 330ml bottle thanks to sam. Pours out dark brown almost black topped with a small tan head. Nose is coffee chocolate which malts pit fruit. Taste is more of the coffee chocolate pit fruit a little Woody roast.
Pours a deep dark brown,almost black colour with a mid sized lasting thick beige head. A chocolate and roasted malt aroma, some coffee ground notes. A rich roasted malt taste, some chocolate notes, some ashy bitterness and a dry finish. Very good.
