Brewpub København Cole Porter

A dark brown coloured beer. LIght brown head. Strong bitterness of hops in the taste. Roasted malt and coffee aromas. A good porter.

50 cl bottle, via papsoe. Pours a dark brown body with a small tight bubbled light brown head. Nice lacing remained. The nose is pretty unique, there’s some tobacco, licorice, and maybe a touch of oxidation that accompanies the usual characters of roast and coffee. The flavor is much thinner than I’d like, there’s a watery quality to it that carries thru in all aspects. Fairly dry, with lots of roasted malt and to a lesser extent chocolate up front. Fades to a coffee and light licorice laced finish. The finish is rather short, reinforcing the watery quality of it. Overall, this was certainly drinkable, but this could us to be a little more beefed up.

On tap at the brewpub. Almost black color, creamy brown head. Aroma is roasted malt. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate. Nice bitterness.

0.5 l bottle. Black color with thick creamy head. Roasty aroma with coffee and charcoal. Fairly drying roastiness in the flavor with charcoal, coffee and dark fruits. More malty backbone would make this better, now this is very straighforwardly roasty.

Near black colored with brown hints, little beige head. Biting aroma with hops and licorice, surprisingly hopped porter. Medium bodied. Flavor starts with fine roastiness and chocolate, aftertaste lasts still with hops. Weird, but good porter.
