The starting beer is a classic Porter added with Tuscan Kentucky tobacco leaves, the same ones that are used to make traditional Italian cigars. The result is a very dark beer with very rich aromas of tobacco, spices and walnut husks. The mouthfeel and palate deliver roasty notes, with a slight acidity and the tobacco offers a peppery and almost hot feeling.

Táp @ osteria. Hű mint hacsak egy istállóba gyújtottam volna rá valami jobbfelé tobakkóra és az egész hóbelebanc lángra kapott volna.

Bottle. Black pour. Aroma of chocolate, tobaco, ash, malt and licorice. Taste of ashy malt, chocolate, licorice, subtle smoke and tobaco. Solid, bit too much licorice flavor perhaps. Would have liked more smoke.

Il gusto al naso viene catturato da liquirizia e pane nero. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone castagno resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Bollicine fini formano il perlage. La carbonazione è persistente. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato non pesante. Il dolce è medio a pareggiare l'amaro medio. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La costanza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è godereccio. Le sensazioni boccali che permangono sfociano in un finale di pronta beva. Il finale è pulito e complesso. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, agrumi e pepe.

Aus der Flasche am 2016-05 getrunken. Noch so ein schräges Teil. EIn Porter mit Tabak. Kalt fällt ein schräger Geschmack auf, den ich als Nichtraucher gar nicht einstufen kann. Später als das Bier etwas wärmer wurde, kommen die Röstnoten deutlicher durch und bilden überraschenderweise ein interessante Kombination mit dem "schrägen" Geschmack. Ich sag mal ein spannendes Bier.

33 cl bottle at Eataly, Illum, Copenhagen. Near black with a dense, lightly tanned head. Fruity aroma with caramel, chocolate, coffee, licorice, tobacco and roasted malts. Taste is light sweet. Medium to full body with a creamy texture and soft carbonation. Finishes drying with fruity-roasted notes. Lovely Porter.

Bottle from the Offie, Leicester. Very dark brown, almost opaque with a tiny ring of tan head. Blackberries, molasses, wood smoke, a touch of tobacco on the nose. Sweetish taste, heavy on berry notes, with a savoury smoky note just at the finish. Overripe blueberries and more tobacco in the aftertaste. Oily body. A pleasingly complex porter.

Bottle. Pours hazy very dark brown with rocky but stable light tan head. Clear aroma of coffee, roast and malt, with touches of yeast and hints of sourish tobacco leaves. Bitter, roasty and coffeelike flavour with malty and estery notes and some sourish tobaccolike hints. Dry and leafy aftertaste. Decent, especially for smokers.
