Nische (3994) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - NOV 13, 2020

corkyrory66 (5311) - BELGIUM - AUG 13, 2020
UPDATED: AUG 13, 2020 Porter de 7 % abv. Mon exemplaire était sans date indiquée .. Par contre on pouvait voir que ce porter est prétendu ' roasty, chewy, robust, judicious, creamy, bold, complex, immense '  Rien de moins !!! Tout ceci demande une vérification élémentaire, bien entendu. Couleur marron très sombre aux reflets noirâtres. Mousse brun clair, très soyeuse, aux jolis motifs voilés, stable à 2 mm. Arômes de café moka superbe, ganache, chocolat noir 50 %, noisettes. 1ère bouche très souple, à la belle entame café/moka/chocolat. Arrière-bouche qui revient sur la noisette, mais à usage modéré, équilibré. 2ème bouche qui est moins percutante et moins harmonieuse. Arrière-bouche plus courte que la 1ère, mais qui reste agréable. Longueur qui trouve de très belles choses, mais pas d'envolée réelle. Jambes fines, serrées, groupées. Levure fine, correcte. Alcool un peu juste, mais au-dessus on serait passé à l'imperial porter ... Finale plus consistante que la longueur. CONCLUSION : un très beau porter assurément, mais dont la 2ème bouche révèle un fléchissement coupable, un peu comme le péché originel .. On avait tout prévu, puisque ceci s'est passé lors d'une nuit pluvieuse ! Mais pour revenir à tous les qualificatifs du brasseur, on peut résumer en disant ' chewy, yes, bold, no, immense, surely not ... ' (9/4/8/4/17)

Mr.Spooks (4080) - Tennessee, USA - JAN 4, 2020
UPDATED: JAN 4, 2020 Not a bad porter, heavy on the dark chocolate and roast, with a chewy underside laced with berry, brown sugar, and coffee. Finishes with a moderate java bitterness and a sugary fade. Drinkable, but gets a bit heavy-handed with the sweetness as it warms.

UPDATED: OCT 21, 2019 Pours black with three finger, light tan head. Aroma is cocoa, roast and molasses. Taste is chocolate and brown sugar, moving to roast. Finish is chocolate and roast. A tasty porter.

UPDATED: OCT 17, 2019 10/16/19 - Maumelle, AR - Lake Liquor - 12 oz can. Dark brown leading to black with a light mocha colored head. Roasty chocolate and coffee aroma. Solid porter flavor with plenty of chocolate and coffee roasted notes, some nuttiness sweetens it up a bit. Nice chalky, dry mouthfeel.
