Chipotle Smoked Porter. A surprisingly approachable smoked porter, velvet smooth with a robust malt backbone. This is infused with Chipotles to give even more smokiness and a subtle hint of heat, a real winter warmer.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, darkest brown colour with huge, firm, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, sulphureous-beige head. Smoky, fleshy, dark malty aroma, dirty-smoky-dusty and peppery hints of chipotle, dark chocolate. Taste is dry, roasty dark malty, notes of liquorice, tar, hints of dark chocolate, mildly smoky and peppery-spicy overtones; slightly too lively carbonation.

33cl bottle. Bbe 02/2016. Pours cola brown with a thick off white head. Gentle smoke, some dark bread, hint of sourness and yeast. Flavor has licorice, caramel, hops and yeasty notes. Some mild sourness in the back as well. Rerate if I get a fresher bottle.

smoked porter, 5.7%, 33cl, schenkt zwart met fijne bruine kraag. aroma van mout, geroosterd, chocolade, lichte rook (helaas iets te koud geschonken en verkouden, wat beide niet meehelpt voor het aroma), smaken zijn zeer licht zuur, dun/waterig, licht rokerig mouten, iets scherps chili/pepers, zwakke body, lage maar mondvullende co2, koffie. de pepers kunnen mij wel bekoren, verder wat te dun en te beperkt.

33cl bottle. Dark ruby pour with a very tall and lively head. Smells smoky and a bit peated. Tastes bitter and smoky, with notes of dark chocolate, roasted malts, bitter cherries and a bit of sourness. Very high carbonation with a fizzy mouthfeel.

Bottle from Birratrovo, Como, bb Feb 2016
Black color with too much frothy beige head. Mild aroma of smoke, but it’s also a bit metallic. Very dry, moderately sour, roasty, and not much smoke. Excessively carbonated.
Still drinkable, but probably victim of a light infection, and refermented in the bottle.

(Draught at Craft & Draft, Amsterdam, 29 Aug 2015) Very dark brown colour, almost black, with frothy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with smoke, dark bread and coffee. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, smoke, dark chocolate and a dry finish with a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well made with a balanced smokiness. Nice one.
