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.

Cletus (6177) - Connecticut, USA - NOV 7, 2007
Bottle. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Smells smoky with lots of dark malt texture and some fruity elements. Tastes of pepper, some coffee, hints of roastiness and an underlying bitterness. Mouthfeel is on the thin side. Finish yields a weird aftertaste that can best be described as chewable aspirin. Not a fan of this one.

Sampled at the brewpub. A decent porter but lacks the crispness and roasted flavor you would desire.

Chin0 (53) - Lomas de Zamora, ARGENTINA - JUL 13, 2012
Tiene aroma a malta tostada y algo de chocolate. Es de color marrón oscuro y la espuma es moderada y de color marrón claro. El sabor es a malta levemente tostada y un poco dulce, pero el final es amargo y deja un gusto tostado en la boca.

Radek Kliber (5907) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - JUN 13, 2012
Bottle 330 ml
Aroma: great dark depth , hint of soy sauce , porter like darkness. Solid.
Appearance: brown-black with large beige, creamy top. Some lace. 3+
Palate / Taste: dry thin bodied. Rusty, metallic with strange watery character. Aroma promised so much more. Shade of porter notes at finish. Creamy top.

tmrmwel (510) - Bergen, NORWAY - APR 22, 2012
Bottle. Pours a hazy, unclear dark red brown, with a creamy head. A lot of sweet caramel malt in the aroma, but not much to balance out the sweetness. A similar story for the flavour, though with a bit of burned sugar giving a whiff of bitterness. Not very bad, just a bit boring.

solidfunk (1790) - Ontario, CANADA - DEC 15, 2011
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 (2256) - 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.
