Brahma Porter

(Can). Dark brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma is mostly of toasted malt, sugar, candy and that’s it. Sweet flavor with some notes of chocolate and alcohol. Medium body, but gets watery in some parts. Not as drinkable as the Stout.

Appearance: dark brown color, with reddish tones. Great head, of beige color, good persistency, few density. Aroma: very carbonated, high presence of hops for a “supposed” porter beer. Too, low toasty malty. Out of beer style. More like a commercial dark lager. Flavor: Totally out of beer style. Very low presence of toasty malts. Artificial toasty and candy taste. Without complexly. Hoppy and metallic final. Palate: light body, watery texture. Medium carbonation. Definitely this beer is not a porter. Not good body, artificial toasted flavor, etc. As we say in Chile: ¡Nos están pasando gato por liebre!; a equivalent meaning to: To be sold a pig in a poke!.

Can, 355 cl Pours a clear regular brown color. Head is big grey and fast-diminishing. It leaves a fair lacing. Aroma is malty fruity with adjuncty traces. It has notes of dark fruits, plums, prunes, dates, figs and some molasses and brown sugar. Not bad. Flavor is sweet with fruity touches and a warming alcoholic presence in the mouth. Hints of brown sugar, licorice, molasses and prunes. Decent. Body is medium to big. Inmense for a macro beer. Thick syrupy texture. Low carbonation and high alcoholic presence. The finish is sticky and leaves an aftertaste of alcohol. Unrefined but drinkable.

In Can, 354 ml. Has a dark brown, almost black color. The head is abundant well, and remains enough. The aroma is malty, but it has something rotten. Something not is well. It is impossible to stop perceiving a certain acid, almost tart taste. Though ultimately, there is perceived a certain agreeable malty who remembers a coffee of half a morning.. This is not a porter.
