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.

Bottle: Clear amber coloured, big fluffy, stable off-white head; sweet, caramelly, dark-malty, toasted-malty nose with supporting aromatic hops in the wings; robust sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium-bodied; drier malty and roasted-bitter finish with impressions of cough-syrup in the aftertaste. A fine, well balanced stuff........

(bottle) Clear, mahogany colour with a thick beige foamy head, quite persistent and slowly lacing. Sweet, a bit sugary toast-malty aroma with light notes of caramel, a subtle fruity tinge of dried fruits and an aromatic, slightly herbal, slightly floral hoppy blend. Bitter and moderately sweet flavour, slightly roasted malty taste with caramel and chocolate; medium bodied with a pleasant carbonation; almost dry, moderately roasted and quite bitter finish. A quaffable Porter from Germany.

Bottle. Red chestnut, fluffy, lacing brown head. Metallic roasted aroma. Siruppy rich base, fairly roasted, chewy coffeeground, herbal hops, brown sugar finish. Chewy, light sparkly. Definitely breaks the mold.

A deep red beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt, while the flavor is sweet and very malty combined with a light roastiness.

(Bottle 25 cl) There aren’t many German porters around, but this is one of the few. Deep reddish brown rather than black with a light brown head. Malty, roasted aroma. Flavour is full of hard roasted malt, not really burned or smoked, but it does indeed come with a long, bitter finish. 040602

Fairly dark chestnut, bright; Smoke, dark chocolate and whole wheat toast on the nose; smooth milk chocolate and espresso glide across the palate - this is a year old and the is a fusion of flavour that is hard to attain in a younger beer; late hit of alcohol, preceded by a hoppily dry finish. Like a restrained version of Harvey Porter. Considering that this is six months past its due date, this isn't showing any signs of wear and should mature nicely up to another year.
