COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Birra decisamente “tosta” grazie alla lavorazione dell’orzo che le dona il suo carattere: ferma, decisa, caparbia, convinta e convincente. La schiuma le conferisce una vena cremosa da gustare con gli occhi e con le labbra. Questa Porter artigianale nasce dall’utilizzo di un blend di ben 8 varietà di malto selezionate, tra cui si evidenziano i malti speciali inglesi che conferiscono un inconfondibile gusto di caramello. L’impiego di malto di varietà “Chocolate” caratterizza sia il colore scuro della birra sia la lieve nota acidula, data la sua capacità di abbassare leggermente il Ph. Infine, l’orzo torrefatto e non maltato è alla base del caratteristico aroma di caffé di questa birra artigianale.

phredrik (707) - Aalborg, DENMARK - NOV 12, 2011
75 cl bottle, shared by enjoyit at ØlKonsortiet. Pours black with a really nice and large brown head. Aroma has a lot of black currants, fresh grounded coffee, tart berry peel, chocolate, black berries, very nice aroma. Taste is sligtly tart, lots of black currants and berries, strong liquorice, a cigarette ash component in the finish. Very atypical and rather nice!

Bona porter dell’Amiata, questa sì che ci stava, forse però non in abbinamento con tomino alla piastra e speck; ma non avevo molto altro in casa da bere e volevo tenermi la Corsendonk per il dolce..errando! Splendido aspetto, schiuma beige scuro, aroma profondamente caffettoso; si beve bene, senza difetti.

Bottle at home from A Tutta Birra, Milan. Deep dark brown pour with a fading tan head. Aroma was dark chocolate, roasted malt, raisin and a hint of soy. Bitter sweet dark choc heavy flavour. Smooth and clean. Dryish finish. Slightly lacking in depth, but drinkable and creepingly moreish.
