One of Michael Jackson’s 500 Classic Brews. Carnegie Porter was brewed for the first time in 1836 and tastes the same today as it did then. Carnegie Porter has a creamy head with a scent of coffee. Its sweet and well rounded flavor is balanced by the bitterness of the hops. Storage helps the flavor mature and enhances its harmony.

Traded for this in 2005, and I’m not sure the "2001" on the label is the bottling date. But at 5.6% abv, it probably should be rated by now. Thick, coffee-liquer nose in the 500 ml bottle. Pours a solid black with a kind of greyish stout-type head. For all its thick smell, though, the actual beer is pretty easy drinking. Slight banana note at first, then a gentle porter with some spices, and a pronounced lager finish. A little more texture and coffee roast toward the bottom, but this never goes beyond its nice quaffability. I suspect this didn’t really need to age this long. And only my third rating from Sweden?

33 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 09.04.2010
Aroma is sweetish with coffee, milk chocolate and sugary notes. Flavour is rather sweet with sugar, cocoa, some coffee, milk chocolate and hints of licorice. Like a coffee with too much sugar.

Bottle. Pours clear reddish black with a small light brown head that dissipates quickly with a bit of lacing. Aroma is strong dark roasted malts with notes of raisin and molasses. Flavor is the same, medium sweet with little bitterness. A bit watery in the mouth.
