3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A nice Batlic porter. Aroma was delicious. Strong milk chocolate, burnt malt and a slight dark cherry element as it warmed. Pour was a flat black with a thin tan ring for a head. Taste didn’t carry through as strong as the aroma, but was still pretty good. The milk chocolate stayed but became an afterthought. Bitter roasted malt borderlined sour while a heavy black licorice note clung to the top of the mouth. Very dark tasting. Very bitter aftertaste that came more form the roasted malt and coffee flavors than the hops. Little to no carbonation in this beer but the flavor allowed me to overlook that.

330ml bottle pours black in color with a finger of beige head that leaves some thin lacing on the glass. Aroma is dark fruits and chocolate with hints of coffee. Taste is quite sweet with malts and chocolate with a hint of coffee and a generous hop bitterness. Heavy body and mild carbonation. Alcohol is well hidden and flavors are nicely balanced. I really enjoyed sipping on this one.

Bottle- Pours a black color with a big tan head that fades to lots of lacing.
Aroma of roasted malt some coffee and hint of chocolate. Taste of coffee, roasted malt and bittersweet chocolate. It has sort of a coffee bitterness and a dry finish. Full body, smooth and creamy. No hint of the 7.2% ABV. Very enjoyable. Goes down easy. Nice late evening sipper.

4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Called "Sinebrychoff Porter IV." Aroma of milk chocolate, malt balls (think Whoppers) light cherry, waffle cone and slight rum. Appearance is oily and black with frothy mocha head. Flavor matches the nose for the most part, with some additional roasted, nutty and nougat flavors. Palate is creamy with some light bubbles. A complex and satisfying Porter.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
From notes: Philadelphia Beer Week draft @ Brauhaus Schmitz. Poured deep brown-to-black with a small, dark tan head. Chocolatey aroma with a nutty note and maybe some anise beneath. Slight oily with a pleasing depth. Sweet roasted malt taste with a nice chocolate note in the finish. Few months later tried a bottle, with very similar results.

12/30/11. 11.2oz bottle labeled "Sinebrychoff Porter IV" thanks to watson1977! Luxurious dark pour with a nice thick brown head that cuts in half but lasts and even laces in chunks. Robust aroma of burnt coffee, cream, a bit of chocolate, and a touch of foreign stout sour fruitiness. Sweet milk chocolate entry that transitions to bold roasted malts with plenty of coffee and more fruitiness. The flavor lingers with a bit of dusty chocolate and a bit of metal. Not bad.
