Dark, robust and silky-smooth, with many flavors of roasted, toasted and caramel malts. Porter is an old-world beer style, so popular that it helped start the industrial revolution. Taste the history.

Aus der Flasche im 2018-10 getrunken. Diese Bier erinnert fast an ein fränkisches Dunkel mit seiner deutlichen Malznote. Hier erinnert nichts an ein Porter was aber auch nicht schlimm ist weil dieses hier süffig ist und einfach schmeckt.

Black beer with beige, quickly vanishing head. Aroma has chocolate, milk coffee, sweetness and oats. Taste has malts, milk coffee, chocolate and oats. Medium+ body, very low carbonation. As the name tells us, this porter is soft as silk.

Reviewed from notes.
Thanks Greg for the bottle.
This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a mostly black color with a nice two finger white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Some lace, slightly speckled.
The aroma had some roasted malt, chocolate and coffee, slight smoke, slight brown sugar.
The flavor blended the previously mentioned aromas together - roasty, sweet and subtle smoke. All leads into the aftertaste and bled into the finish.
The feel was about medium bodied, perhaps just a touch above with a nice soft carbonation about it. ABV felt good.
Overall, nicely done porter well worthy of having again.

Bottle @ home shared with dad. Dark brown to black color, full sized brown colored head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is malts, slightly metallic, light soft roast. Taste malts, quite dry and earthy, lightly sharp roast in the finish, medium bitterness, malt bitter finish. Decent beer.
