Hazy light amber color, with no head. Some alcohol and band-aid aroma, light malt. The mouthfeel is definitively less carbonated and rounder than the other sisters, showing how the excessive carbonation completely spoiled those; some alcohol presence, no Port sign, moderate residual sweetness.
Not too bad.

Amber colour, no head, low carbonation. Strong but you don’t taste the alcohol that much. Sweet and bitter nose, but the port is hidden. Good beer, not great.

Draught Good, pinkish tinted white head over fully hazy orange beer. Liqueurish nose, citrus, orangepeel, smells rather sweet; Again a coriander/diacetyl-like overimpression, on rather grainy beer. Liqueurish, if dull-sweetish, but claiming Portwine would be a bridge too far. Very syrupy MF. Alcoholheat in the finish. Again, I couldn’t define the barrel. Liqueurish, heavy, yes, but IMO a more outspoken portcharacter might have been preferable - if only to make it more distinctive.
