4.2 比常见 porter 清甜一些，目前是我最喜欢的 porter

4.5 Chocolate, café...la mejor Porter que he probado nunca. Ideal con un postre bañado en chocolate.

3.8 Pours to a coca cola ruby red / black with frothy head. Sweet malts on the nose, with burnt toast at the end. Nice dark malty bite in the mouth, fair sweetness, burnt toast, sweet coffee, touch of dark chocolate. Nice lingering malty liquorice finish. Good balance of bitter and sweet. Solid.

4.0 12oz bottle from Beers of Europe and drunk on 19/08/2006. An absolutely lovely Porter, with a bit of hop presence. This was quite removed from most of the things I was able to get my hands on back then.

3.9 Bottle. Black with a lovely beige head, lots of lacing. Aroma of roasted, malts bitter chocolate and some fruity sourness. Taste of roasted malts, dark berries, dark chocolate and some coffee. Roasty lasting bitterness. Fruity acidity. Low to medium carbonation. Very nice.

3.7 Bottle from Total Wine in San Jose. Dark brown with fast fading tan foam. A bit of roast. Very dry almost to the point of being sour. Ok, but a little more body and sweetness would be nice.

3.1 Not as flavorful as Highland Brewing but not horrible

3.7 Bottle. Aroma and taste of cocoa and coffee, light roastyness, light vanilla, light sweet and sour notes, medium bitter. Medium body, malty bitter finish. Ok.

3.9 0,35l bottle. Pours black with off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roast, malt. Roast driven nose for sure. Taste is roast, chocolate, coffee. Basic flavour profile, but a good one at that.

3.9 Very dark portet chocolate taste. Great full body of porter. Nice after taste.

4.0 Nutty, with salted caramel, chocolate, coffee and roasted malts with blackcurrant notes. Malty, sweet but the saltiness brings great balance.

3.7 Backlog. Many bottles, dark brown color with medium khaki head. Notes are roasted malt, coffee, piney hops, malt. and other dark fruit. Balanced and somewhat refreshing for the style. Never too charred or thick in the mouth

3.9 I like a more heavier mouthfeel on my Porter and a little more chocolate flavour. Having said that, this is still a very good beer, with good balance and the right amount of hops.

4.7 Ein Bier bei dem ich es echt bedauerte, dass es nur so eine kleine Flasche war. Hier hat man wirklich alles richtig gemacht und noch einen eigenen Touch hinzugefügt. Schöne schokoladoge Malzaromen mit leichten Einschlägen von Toffee und dahonter eine Wand aus Aromahopfen. Dabei wirkt es wunderschön cremig, ohne aber zu sehr als Stout anzuecken. So stelle ich mir ein ausgezeichnetes Porter vor.

3.7 Aroma: light caramel to rich malt Appearance: dark with red highlights, small tan head Flavour: charcoal, malt, stewed plum and balancing bitterness Palate: thick rich, finely carbonated, lingering carbon & cleansing hop

3.6 Bottle. Pours a dark, dark brown with a thin tan head. Smells of chocolate over charcoal. High in carbonation (too high?). Tastes of chocolate, smoke, mild hops. Good beer

3.7 Pours very dark with a foamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt. Nice roasted malt flavor, bitter finish. Hints of coffee and cocoa. Very good porter.

3.6 Pours very dark brown, topped with a sizeable beige head, pretty lasting. Gentler malty nose with roastiness and some milder nuts that get more pronounced later on. Medium sweetness, chocolate and nutty with milder roastiness, some bitterness. Medium body. Nice and simply drinkable porter.

3.6 12fl oz bottle @Cimmeria, Oviedo. 17-01-2019. BBD: 18-07-2019. In short: average porter. Did I enjoy it: yes. Pours quite dark with nice off white head. Roasted malts nose, some licorice. Medium body, average carbonation, slick texture. Taste follows the nose, roasty, some coffee. Average.

3.0 olsta porterus blackus onder braunus lustus vorra winterus es tresus treckar, hui

3.5 Cream sherry, caramel, a hint of coffee, dark berries... quite a rich and complex nose to complement a fairly intense, mostly bitter taste with a wee (and welcome) sour edge. It's a great pity that heavy-handed carbonation marrs the finish to a significant extent for me.

3.9 Gut aber für sehr gut ein Tick zu dünn

4.0 (malt-rôti-torréfié, café-distil, µ-baie noire, onctuo-light, > équilibrée, simplo-riche, classic-modeste, ~lait-choco-café)

3.5 Bottle, 0.355l. Black pour, one finger soapy beige head. Low retention, some lacing on the glass. Roasted malts on the nose, charred, some wood notes. Subtle chocolate in the background, hints of vanilla. Thin body, medium to high carbonation. Light texture, prickly mouthfeel. Charred bittersweet taste. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts, cocoa. Notes of vanilla and forest fruits. Bready, cake-like aftertaste. Charred. Slightly sticky. Medium lasting finish, dry with a slight burn on the tongue. Overall, pretty good porter that's lacking in body a bit. Quality brew but nothing spectacular - textbook porter.

3.2 Appearance Pours a mildly hazy dark brown with a red tinge, small tan head, some retention Aroma Dried fruits, caramel, burnt sugar, ashes, coffee, mocha Taste Sweet, very low bitterness Palate Medium, high carbonation

3.7 0.33 l bottle shared with Marko and Anna God. Dark brown, red tint, medium to large tan head. Malty, toffee, caramel, light roasty, ash. Very nice dry roasty profile, some malty sweetness. Light metallic note. Light alcohol. Rough, potent. Very dry finish.

3.4 Bottle from Pivný raj Okay porter, well brewed, flawless, but pretty much one dimensional. But fine

3.7 Bottle @ Beer Deluxe Sydney. Deep deep brown with mocha head. Aromas of dark chocolate and light roasted coffee. Smooth mouthfeel, dark chocolate, coffee. I was a few in when I had this, but it was good.
