Die Basis ist ein kräftiger Porter. Dieser Stil ist geprägt von kräftigen, dunklen Malzen, die röstmalzige und schokoladige Noten ins Bier bringen. Die Kombination mit englischem Hopfen bringt eine angenehme Bittere, die entsprechende Balance ins Bier bringt und eine etwas kräuterige, florale Note involviert. In der Kombination mit dem Portwein kommen fruchtige, fassartige Noten ins Bier, die zusammen mit der Süße in erster Linie die Malzigkeit unterstützen.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Pitch black colour with a mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted, some toasted and mild smoked tones with some nutty tones to it. Flavour is nutty, some roasted malts with quite strong Port Wine sweetness as well as some slight raisins and plum tones as well. Smooth.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek' (online), best before September 2024. Black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty and slightly vinous-fruity aroma of dark chocolate, roasted hazelnut, coffee, raisins and port. Very sweet, malty, quite roasty and gently vinous-fruity taste of chocolate, coffee, licorice, roasted hazelnut, raisins and port, followed by a short, gently roasty-bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Delicious brew, very pleasant even if not overly complex. Great match.

Künstlich süßer, gleichzeitig säuerlicher und röstiger Beginn - komisch, unpassend und harmonisch zugleich. Kaffee, Zitrus, dann wieder süßer, nicht alkoholisch aber etwas klebrig, mit der Zeit weicher werdend. Definitiv kein Anfänger Bier - speziell, spannend und auf eine merkwürdige Art passend. 12/7/9/11//9
