“Port’ in Icelandic. HÖFN is a dark, tanned head and low carbonation beer. Roasty and malty aromas that are replicated on the flavour side, together with chocolate hints. Medium body and light bitterness that balances the mouthfeel.

Tap at Napargar, in the city of Pamplona. Black with an off-white head. Fair strength porter, which gives it a good body. Has a flavoursome mix of dark and roasted malts.

Many thanks for this beer to Jacek Wigier (wineofdreams@gmail.com) Hiszpanski porter jest bardzo czekoladowy, markizy, biszkopty, sporo palonosci, troche w pierwszym odbiorze maclane. Barwa brazowoczarna, nie przezroczysta. Piana spora 2 fazowa, bezowa, ale szybko sie redukuje do zera. Fajny palony finisz na koncu. Dobre.

Olmost black with a brown head - Malt aroma with some notes of roast and some chocolate aroma - Malt body with a roasted malt flavour with some bitterness and a nice chocolate flavour in the back - The malt with bitterness goes into the finish - This was good

Den blir for søt. Det er i hvert fall ingen dry Stout. Jeg tenker egentlig melkesukker og sweet Stout - som ikke er min favoritt stil.

Bottle @ Van Moll Brewpub shared with BDomue and my friend Lucas. Opaque dark brown to black color, average sized light brown head. Aroma is malts, iron, earthy. Taste malts, dark malts, light iron and light earthy, dusty cocoa powder, lightly sweetish in the end. Decent body and carbonation. Ok porter.
