3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
scurissima, si confonde con il nero del portatovaglioli, ma ha riflessi maron. Bella schiuma beige cappuccino non molto resistente. Naso olive nere, alcol (7.2), lieve tiglio e caffè/prugna: in bocca è ben bilaciata, il dolce si restringe con note calorose e asciuga un po’ il disarmante impeto iniziale. Una porter solida, tedesca, davvero singolare quanto gustosa e godibile.

Bottle. Pours an opaque dark brown with almost no head. What there is, is a thin light tan film interspersed with bubbles and a bubbly film that clings to the edge of the glass. Aroma is grainy, roast malts with notes of coffee. Lactic chocolate is very evident. Flavor is grainy malts with dark chocolate and coffee notes and a mild bitter roast finish. Thin.

Black with a huge deep beige head. Aroma had hard roasted malt and hints of coffee and liquerice. Sweet flavour with hard roasted malt, coffee and liquerice notes. Finished dry. Nice german porter.

“Rich, roasty and very full bodied, Neuzeller Porter is brewed in the grand tradition of Eastern European porters.”
Near black color (no light shines through). Good starting head, but it recedes to a single layer of fine bubbles. Good lace.
Earthy, with a dry cocoa flavor to the nose. Some sour milk aroma also.
Thinner than I expected (given the bottle claim). Creamy, semi-sweet chocolate flavor—reminds me of chocolate milk. Very light hop. The aftertaste is similar to unsweetened cocoa. I imagine there was plenty of chocolate and dark crystal malts to create this flavoring. A touch of sherry in the background. Easy to drink.

0.5 l bottle.
Non-transparent dark brown/black colour, nice pale brown head (which quickly collapsed), soft carbonation.
Sweetish smell of roasted malt and chocolate.
The taste is sweetish and light-tar, body’s oily and light-sticky.
Flavour is bitter chocolate-liked with a touch of sweetness in the back.
The finish’s bittersweet and dry.
In opposite of the labels alcoholcontent, it’s easy drinkable.
Fine one.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Half liter bottle. Recovering from a case of sniffles, which I treated with Two Buck Chuck White Zin to save my tasting palate. Pours brown-black with a sort of cola head. Big grainy smell as I pour, some unmodified malt in the recipe? Gets more pleasant after a while, more like walking into a brewpub on brew day. Lots of roast malt for sure, plays a little bit rough with my mouth. A touch of fruity ester. Not very easy drinking, but that may be a good thing, because the alcohol is well hidden. Some nut brown and black patent malt. If this were concentrated, it could be an Imperial Stout. Why does the monk on the label look like he’s lecturing me?
