3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draft at Anchor tasting room. Pours mostly clear, almost black in color with some mahogany at the edges and topped by a thick tan colored head of foam that shows good retention while leaving nice lines of lacing on the glass. The aroma shows notes of dark chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, vanilla, and ample earthy hop bitterness on the back end. The flavor follows suit and is just as roasty as the nose let on with ample amounts of dark chocolate and roasted malts while the earthy hops lend ample bitterness. A touch of vanilla cream smooths things out and adds nice balance between the chocolate, roast, and hops. Medium bodied and smooth with balanced carbonation that leads to a roasted, bitter sweet finish. Tasty stuff as all the flavors play off each other nicely. This is a well crafted, classic porter. Good stuff and my favorite of the day after the tour.

Bottle - not at all what I was expecting and I love it. Has aromas ant taste of chocolate and fruit, and an earthy-sour taste that is great, plus a solid dry hop note on the palate. A bit milky and a lint of sweet spiciness. Absolutely unique beer, only thing close to it was Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (the dry sourness.) Dark brown with big tan head.

Another very decent porter. it’s close to Bell’s, but Bell’s is a Michigan brewery and I have to give the nod to the local boys. There’s nothing wrong with this beer. It has all the qualities you expect in a good porter - just not great.

Bottle from Csakajósör. Strong lasting foam, very light aroma. Overpowering banana hints in the falvour that put me off totally.

Pours a rich ebony black color, with a creamy mocha head. Nose is malty and somewhat sweet. Taste is full bodied with bitterness and chocolate. Despite the low ABV can taste some alcohol. Landing is medium, with some chocolate and again some alcohol residue. Personally, would have liked a bit more sweetness. Quaff Score 7 /10 Nothing to rave about have had better

Bottle. Pours a deep black with a thick brown head. Nice, malty aroma of chocolate, cereal grains, and a touch of coffee. The flavor is similarly malty - not much presence of the hops. Complex malts, with chocolate, vanilla, and toast. A bit of coffee on the aftertaste. A solid porter.
