COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Josh's translation of the Spanish description: A classic English style. Antares Porter promotes digestion, in an abundant sea of foam, with notes of toasted malt and chocolately finish. In antiquity, doctors prescribed this beer, enriched with an egg yolk, for nursing mothers. Nowadays, many remember it for that reason, but prefer to enjoy the virtues of a malty palate accented with hops. With 5.5%abv, this beer is excellent with smoked meats and seafood.

A bit of a coffee taste and some nut flavour. Not very thick, not very potent. Drank it on the street walking down Alto Palermo getting snobby looks from the chetos. Made me enjoy the beer a little more.

JohnRMurdoch (1386) - Glasgow, SCOTLAND - SEP 1, 2010
Bottle from Cervelar, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Aroma of coffee, gras and vanilla. Very dark brown colour with fast disappearing beige head. Looks a bit like cola. Chocoate coffee flavour, not bad.

BiddleBrau (639) - Midland Park, New Jersey, USA - JAN 30, 2010
On tap at Mendoza brew pub. Brown with thin brown head. Malty nose. Roasty flavor but strangely enough, it actually has a tanic quality similar to a cabernet? Malt profile is non-existent in the flavor other than to provide a little balance. This tanic flavor is most interesting but given the location, maybe not so much.

tomciccateri (681) - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - DEC 1, 2009
Brown bottle. Pours a nearly opaque dark brown color with a slight head. Medium body, slightly roasted character with coffee notes. Finish was too sharp.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - OCT 17, 2009
Bottled. A brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma has light notes of butter and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, leading to a dry roasted finish. The body is light.

bkurtz (461) - PERU - OCT 10, 2009
Poured dark brown with a smallish head. Nice roasted malt flavour with a good finish. Good overall beer.

Rune (4667) - Tromsø, NORWAY - SEP 23, 2009
330ml bottle at Monks Café, Wallingatan. Slightly brownish head filled with lots of small dimples. A reddish tint to a very dark brown body. Rather inviting mid-sweet aroma of earthy malts and dark fruits. Sweet, and a bit diluted caramel malts in flavour added by brown sugar. Has got its moments, but gets too sweet and unvaried after a while. A roasted bitterness is almost missing (Stockholm, 01.09.2009).

mabel (4129) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 25, 2009
[2003-20090219] 660mL bottle. Dusty wood aroma with mildly fruity raisin malt. Slightly hazy, dark brown amber body with a quick light tan foamy head. Woody fruit raisin malt flavour with a heavy smoky finish and long sweet aftertaste. Medium-full body is thin. Fair but smoky and a little boring.
