Good cream-tan head, stable, over very dark brown beer. Coffee, quite intense, liquorice, roast, roasted grains. Sweet roast, bit meaty, metallic-coffee, but the coffee is not that intense orally. Finish is a bit surprisingly watery, and the flavours fall away. Good carbonation. Pity about the finish, acceptable. Txs to Stef!

Simcoe, GR50 et Citra sont les 3 houblons intégrés dans ce porter. Pas certain que ce soit là un bon cocktail pour le genre, les arômes fruités notamment de fruits exotiques provenant du Citra venant perturber les arômes de malts torréfiés. Quand on s'appelle Caffè Morena, on s'attend également à avoir des arômes de café beaucoup plus présents. Ce porter en reste toutefois agréable et se laisse facilement boire. En verre, nous sommes sur un brun foncé quasi noir (EBC de 60), d'une limpidité parfaite mais avec une mousse disparate. Le nez sur un duo café/chocolat est simple mais efficace. A la dégustation, ce duo et notamment le café est moins franc malheureusement. L'attaque est même quelque peu décevante, laissant percevoir du caramel, du piment et en arrière-plan le fruité du citra. La texture, fine, n'est pas particulièrement à mon goût non plus. En deuxième bouche le chocolat arrive tranquillement avec une arrière bouche où l'on retrouve l'expression du citra avec de la mélasse et du chocolat. Ce n’est qu'à partir de la troisième bouche que le café se fait remarquer, et même s'il continue à s'affirmer sur le final, il aurait largement mérité d'être plus développé. Si la corpulence est très moyenne, ce Caffè Morena jouit d'une bonne longueur. L'amertume à 32 d'IBU et l'alcool à 6% sont quant à eux bien dosés. Quand on me promet du café, j'aime pour ma part avoir du café.

One of the latest Tartaruga beers, a coffee porter, bottle from De Hopduvel in Ghent. Medium thick, yellowish pale beige, moussy, slowly opening head over a dark burgundy hued, chocolate brown beer, very dark but still fully translucent, hazy. Aroma of fondant chocolate, coffee grounds, dried prunes, muesli, caramel candy, toasted brown bread, pecan nuts, tea, raisins. Sweetish onset with light sourish edge, dried figs and raisins with a touch of dried blueberries, medium carb, smooth and supple, bit oily mouthfeel; nutty and 'hard caramelly' malt middle, with a bittering toasted edge that blends well with semi-aromatic, softly bitter black coffee, turning a tad espresso-like retronasally. A late dash of spicy hops merges perfectly with the toasty and coffeeish bitterness, but the caramel malt sweetness lingers a bit beyond that. Porter in the classic, rounded, sweetish sense (as compared with modern stouts), with the coffee elegantly integrated; standard coffee porter I'd argue, but, like all of Tartaruga's beers, very correctly and 'cleanly' done.
