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.

blankboy (4287) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 2, 2009
Bottle (660ml) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, GregClow, jerc & mabel -- c/o HogTownHarry. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small diminishing frothy off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel and a hint of coffee and chocolate. Watery flavour of caramel malt, slightly roasty, along with some coffee and chocolate. Light to average bodied. Not bad but quite dull, just O.K. at best.

jerc (5444) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 22, 2009
2009-02-19. Very dark brown body with a quick tan head. Odd caramel molasses aroma. Flavour is similar, lightly smoky, earthy touches, dark malt. Average palate is fairyl smooth., lightly carbonated. Pretty meh, a bit of age compounds a weak base. Bottle shared by HogTownHarry
