UPDATED: NOV 12, 2018 Bottle at Nuevo Mundo Cusco. Dark brown color, beige head. Bitter taste with roasted malts, nuts, coffee, cacao, a bit of dark fruits and toast. Bitter finish with roasted malts, coffee, cacao, nuts, toast and a bit of dark fruits. Very nice porter.

Bottle poured a hazy reddish amber with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of toffee, dried fruit and light tobacco. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of toffee, dried fruit and spice with a smooth dry lingering spiced toffee finish.

Nez: Chocolat, fruits secs Bouche: Chocolat, noisette, onctueuse, vanille Un American Porter, onctueux, qui est très porté sur des notes de chocolat noir et de noisette avec des notes de vanille dans le final.

My Bottom Line:
Fruity tobacco moves into roastiness and peppery hoppiness for a lean Porter.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the reddish brown.
-Malts aren’t all that satisfying for a Porter.
-Slender body and effervescence help drinkability, but don’t really work for my tastes in Porter.
-This would make a good Brown Ale though.

On tap at their bar in Cusco.

[Bottle (330ml)] Pours a very dark brown with an average size long-lasting frothy tan head. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel malt, nuts, light hops, lactose, a bit of chocolate and some earthiness. Malty, toasty and fruity flavour, a bit sweet, with notes of coffee and a decent amount of hops. Light to moderate bitter finish. Light to average bodied. Not a bad Porter, decent.

330ml Bottle from ChocoMuseo in Lima: Pours in a very dark robe masking the effervescence and tops with a nice thick cream/tan color neck that lasts the whole time you drink it. Strong chocolate aroma (ethically harvested chocolate from a COOP they tell me) with hints of coffee and earthy notes. Medium sweet taste with a full round body, creamy texture and abrupt finish. Overall a nice chocolate porter worth discovering. Well balanced. Recommended!
