Commercial Description:
Porter is our darkest beer, but not necessarily our strongest. It is widely held that the darker the beer the stronger the beer, but this is summarily false. The contribution of color comes directly from the color of malt that we use. Some malt is roasted to achieve dark color and coffee-like flavor, which in turn get transferred to the beer. Our Porter is richly complex with overtones of chocolate and espresso beans followed by a subtle flavor of hops. It’s a nourishing beer without being too sweet or filling.

Bottled. A hazy red-brown beer with a huge fluffy brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of cocoa and chocolate. The flavor is sweet and very roasted, which also lends it a slight acidity, combined with strong notes of chocolate. The alcohol burns slightly in the mouth.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Slightly hazy reddish brown with a tall and dense, shaving foam style off-white head leaving a rich lacework. Lightly vinous, roasted malt aroma. Medium body with sweet, roasted - hard roasted - malt accents. Some fruitiness before a dry finish. Appears like a Baltic Porter. 171107

black, whispy tan head, sweet carmal and chocolate aroma, rich chocolate flavor, just a hint of sweetness to bring out the chocolate, a touch of bitterness in the finish, a great rich chocolate porter with maybe a bit too much bitterness in the finish

Dark brown w/ red highlights. Aroma of coffee, alder, light grass, almonds. A little bit thin. Dry, toasty character, with some nut and coffee. Off-dry finish. A little lacklustre, but worked with Papa Jake’s meatloaf sandwich (you know you’re in Buffalo when…)
