Tap at CBM jimbocho. Roasty, creamy, not really porter like, but not a stout either, maybe a creamy brown ale. Lots of sweet malt.

Yeah, pretty good. Tastes like a Japanese porter.

Shared 33cl bottle on 15th Aug 2016: half each for me and a mate. Black to deep, darkest brown, thin tanned topping. Chocolate and malty front to both the nose and taste: fairly sweet throughout and a very pleasant Porter all round.

On tap at CBM jimbocho summer 2014. Served in a shaker pint. Dark brownish black with a slight tan head. Nice chocolate malt aroma with hints of brown sugar, toffee and vanilla. Tastes of sorghum, toffee with a nice creamy mouthfeel. Slightly roasted finish. Smooth.

Revisiting this beer I’m struck by it’s pretty deep mahogany brown hue and dense beige creamy foam. Sankt Gallen’s Brown Porter clocks in at 5.5% and has a soft cocoa aroma with mild caramel bites. Medium to light bodied the taste reminds me of malty English beers with cocoa, hints of caramel and even fainter gifts of tobacco. It’s well balanced and has held up well, these days I probably wouldn’t go for the pale ale but I’d buy this again. ——-2013 review 3.5————— On sale at Yodobashi Camera. 5.5% As my wife made leftover curry, right away I thought it’s a perfect chance to have my Sankt Gallen Brown Porter! Lovely chocolate malt aroma, on a very dark brown body with a tan head of foam. The flavor is quite sweet, almost syrupy chocolate with a silky mouthfeel. Wow I got some vanilla notes in the aftertaste, it really rocks with curry.

Bottled at Towers, Tokyo. Very dark brown, rich head. Chocolate cherry aroma. Soft and deep, medium bodied. Notes of coffee and butterscotch. Dryish finish with tobaco and strawberry with mild bitter finish. A relaxed, mellwo and pleasant porter.

Bottle. Black with a rather low head. Great aroma of coffee, chocolate, dark fruits, roasted malts. Nice flavor of chocolate, coffee, molasses, smoke, and some cream. Complex and flavorful yery very smooth and creamy. No jolts. Not much bitterness something lingering pleasantly long after the swallow. Light for a porter, but rich and tasty.

Dark brown with a medium, dark brown head. Roasted coffee, molasses in the aroma. Similar flavor with plenty of roasted malts, and some chocolate in addition to the coffee. Medium, smooth body. Very enjoyable.
