Porter is produced in a complex two-maisch process, fermented with our unique Hoepfner yeast and stored for at least six weeks. This makes it mature and binds the carbonic acid into the fine foam that connoisseurs love.

Clear rubyish brown colour, good frothy beige head, half-way lasting, patchy lacing. Aroma sweet & roasted malt, cocoa, molasses, light treacle. Taste roasty medium sweet and bitter, cocoa powder, bit caramel, herbal notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, malty sweetbitter aftertaste, cocoa lingers on, hint of coffee, herbal notes, not a classic porter imo but very nice anyway.

Porter aus der Privatbrauerei Hoepfner, Flasche von Bierselect.de. - Dunkles Schwarzbraun, klar. - In der Nase elegante aber etwas blasse Röstaromen, Mokka und Kakao, ganz leichte weinige Schwere. - Antrunk kräftig röstmalzig mit Mokka, Kakaopulver und ein klein wenig Asche. Leichte, mild karamellige Restsüße. Dezente aber aromatische kräuterige Hopfenherbe (Schweizer Kräuterzucker - ist das Tettnanger?). Vollmundig, leicht trocken; der etwas höhere Alkoholgehalt ist perfekt eingebunden. Im Abgang mild hopfenwürzige Herbe. Langer malzbitterer Nachtrunk. - Interessantes Bier, vom Geschmacksprofil her eindeutig untergärig und somit kein klassisches Porter sondern eher ein schwarzes Märzen. Jedenfalls sehr probierenswert.

Bottle at the brewery. Pitch black with a high, tan, rocky head. Fruity nose, chocolate, grain, grapes. Lightly roasted flavor, berries, big raisins, coffee, chocolate. Somewhat sweet, but a nicely bitter, dry finish. Decent, very German porter. Wonder if it is a lager?

0.33l bottle. Almost black dark ruby body with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, reisins and sour cherries. Taste of chocolate, toast, cherries and floral hops. Quite hoppy for a porter. Correct beer.
