A good caramel and coffe aroma. Have a good dark color for an a Porter. No Head, or no long present. It apreciated a litle sweet, but not too much for my Porter beer concept. This beer have a medium body with an exactly carbonatation. The finish is abrubt. A good Porter, bettere than other wrong called Porters.

Bottled. Looks are similar to those of Del Puerto Porter Stout, as are aromas. However, there is virtually no chocolate in this brew, and it possesses a much more bitter tone. I prefer the non-robust version, personally.

Pretty much a Del Puerto Porter Stout on steroids. Not too different from the original and even the ABV is not that much increased. But I did get a more roasty feeling in the mouth with a solid finish. The aroma is toasted with some caramel and coffee. Reminds me of a Caramel Macchiatto. Very malty with no hops noticeable. Flavor is a little deeper than the regular Porter but pretty much the same. Body is medium with a velvety texture. Very drinkable Porter with a big flavor profile.

[Bottle] Pitch black with a small but firm beige head. Aroma of capuccino, coffee, cream and toasted malt. Malty flavor with notes of chocolate, coffee and a hint of smoke. Medium bitterness and medium body. Oily texture and well balanced. Not so different from the regular Del Puerto Porter, except for being more bitter and maybe a more accentuaded aroma.
