Caña en el señor lupulo Gijón 16..03..2017 (r119). Color negro intenso con poca espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco tiempo aromas intensos e inmemsos a cafés torrefactos con Vainillas y frutos secos. Sabores intensos también cafés torrefactos Vainillas y mantequilla de cacahuete y frutos secos. Cuerpo medio no muy denso algo líquido fino y ligeramente espumoso. Increíble sabor para sus 6 vol. Para repetir sin duda. muy buena.

Refrigerated brown bomber poured into a English pint glass. Black with small beige head. Aroma is coffee, medium body, medium carbonation, and some small-bubble lacing. Taste is coffee, chocolate, lactose, some peanut butter, and a little roast. The best coffee Porter I have had.

Tap @RB Best. Pours opaque black with a large creamy tan head that dissipates slowly with nice lacing. Aroma is chocolate, light coffee, light ashtray, lots of peanuts. Flavor is medium bitter, light plus sweet, Medium body. Not bad, but just once again reinforces that PB Porters are not really my thing.

Bottle from Beer Gonzo. Dark brown pour with a quickly dissipating head. Aromas of Nutella, dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, cocoa. Flavours of chocolate hazlenut, lots of coffee, more nuts. More nuts than an insane asylum! Very tasty.

22 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big peanut butter, milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, vanilla, cream, and toasted dark bread; with lighter notes of smoke, dark fruit, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Fantastic aromas with awesome complexity and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee/PB, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big peanut butter, milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, vanilla, cream, and toasted dark bread; with lighter notes of smoke, dark fruit, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal hop and roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of peanut butter, milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, vanilla, cream, toasted dark bread, herbal, smoke, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee/PB, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from roast/hop bitterness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, fairly silky, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.2%. Overall this is an incredible flavored American porter! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee/PB, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Very rich and complex, with a ton of PB and Coffee flavor; with nice support and balance from the base beer. A highly enjoyable offering.

650ml bottle. Jet black colour with average, creamy, fairly lasting and lacing, beige head. Roasty, dark malty aroma, hints of coffee, burnt coffee, a nuttily touch, peanut, peanut butter, hints of vanilla flavoured chocolate. Taste is dry, roasty dark malty and minimally nutty, delivers identical flavours of burnt coffee, peanut and vanilla; very well controlled sweetness.

(650ml bottle from kihoskh.dk shared) Pours black with a small pale tan head that fades quickly without lace. Aroma of coffee beans, peanut butter and nutella, chocolate, toasted malt, some dark caramel sweetness, pretty much driven by the additions. Flavour leans more on toffee, chocolate, moderate roasted malt and coffee, with the peanut butter hidden at first, fairly sweet though not rich. Finish is drier with bitter coffee grounds, roasted malt, peanut butter, and some cocoa. Light to medium bodied, with average carbonation. Solid stuff, it’s easy to get too over the top rich with a sweet high alcohol dessert beer, but in contrast this was maybe slightly underbuilt.

Thank you Mathieu87 + PriorL for the effort! Bomber sampled @ Samson en Geert Bierproef Avond. Lighter shade of black going to brown, creamy small mocha head. Nose is pleasant big artificial mocha, hazlenut, chocolate, marzipan, coffee, sugar, mocha. Taste is painfully chemical vanilla, marzipan, artificial coffee, chemical cheap chocolate, insanely artificial, the more you drink it the more chemical it becomes, real plastic chocolate & it quickly starts turning artificial, cheap, chemical, painfully artificial & the same counts for the body. Starts out pleasantly but quickly turns ugly.
