Brło Baltic Porter, Fläschchen aus einem Berliner Supermarkt. - Schwarzrotbraun, trüb. - In der Nase sattes aber weiches, durch matte Süße abgemildertes Röstmalz, stark gesüßter Kaffee, Karamel, feine herbale Hopfung, kandierte Orange, Anklänge an Torf. - Antrunk weich und füllig röstmalzig mit Mokkabohnen, leiser Frucht (Aprikosenkonfitüre) und milder herbaler Hopfung. Die breite Karamelsüße ist gut eingebettet, erscheint aber trotzdem übertrieben, zumal ihr keine kernigen Röst- oder Hopfenaromen gegenüberstehen. Mild rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang allzu milde herbale Hopfung. - Arg süßes, unkompliziertes Porter, dem es an Tiefgang fehlt. (16.12.2022.)

33cl Fles bij De Kluizenaar. Donkerbruine kleur, beige kraag. Veel rogge, roggebrood, vrij zoet, kruidig, licht-bitter. Te zoet en bock-achtig voor mijn smaak, maar stijlvast.

Bottle 0.33l, trade with pivnizub, vřelé díky! Two years aged. A bit cloudy, dark red to brown colored. AROMA- roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, prunes. FLAVOR- dry, lightly bitter, roasted, earthy, prunes, chocolate, coffee. Just medium bodied. Tasty. Maybe too light for the style.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear, dark brown with a beautiful burgundy hue and a small, beige head. Nose is dominated by sweet cocoa powder - Nesquick. Rich, sweet body, again sweet cocoa, some salty licorice but also mushy, overripe, dark fruits which all adds up into a very delicious and complex melange. Carbonation to the low side. Not overly roasted, not overly bitter, not overly boozy - just super neat and drinkable. Baltic Porters can be soewhat harsh due to the Lager yeast - this one is the exact opposite. 011221

Fast ein Coffee-Stout, etwas mehr gehopft und spritziger. Feiner, beständiger Schaum, sehr röstige Kaffee-Noten, auch recht malzig-süss.

Greyish-yellow small head; orange-shot brown, almost black beer. Dark malts' galore, dark sweet bread, Pumpernickel, chocolate, - smells like a Dunkler Bock. Bitter-sweet, with again lots of Pumpernickel bread. Bitter chocolate, liquorice, roast. Feels better bodied than it probably is. Good carbonation, bit slick. Flüssiges Pumpernickel ? Whatever, IMHO this is closer to Dunkler Bock than to Porter, Baltic or other. Thanks to Joren!
