Viven Smoked Porter is a fairly bitter porter beer, with a very smokey flavour. Accents of coffee and dark chocolate make for a powerful aroma in your glass.

Bottle from an online shop, probably BIAB. Dark dark brown with a big tan head. Nose of coffee and roasted malts, bitter citrus. Smooth mouthfeel, dry and nutty with a higher carb than porter usually has, a lot of chocolate malt flavor. I don't get smoke, unless you count the black malt overtones, is there smoke in here? Quite a tasty little (almost imperial) porter!

Light body, very dry. The roast and the hop bitterness are balanced like a stout. Smoke is very mild. Nothing overtly off, but it’s a bit muddy and yeasty to me. Gollems proeflokaal Amsterdam

Bottle 0.33l, trade with Camons, many thanks! Cloudy, dark red to black colored. AROMA- roasted malts, a bit smoky, touch of nuts, coffee, tobacco. FLAVOR- neutral, moderately bitter, roasted malts, chocolate, touch of nougat and again something like bitter tobacco leaves, slight touch of smoke. Medium to fuller bodied. Very good.

Wieder einmal eine neue, unbekannte belgische Brauerei für mich. EIn Porter, das mit wenig Süße und dafür enormen Raucharomen daherkommt -die Umbennenung von Porter in Smoked Porter macht auf jeden Fall Sinn. Dabei ist es aber fein mild im Abgang und lässt sich daher angenehm trinken. Es wird vielleicht nicht mein Lieblings-Porter, aber geschmeckt hat es mir wohl.

Bottle online from Beerhouseshop.be. Pours pitch black with a large thick throthy beige head. Aromas of roasted malts, coffee and milk chocolate. Taste is the same again with added smokey notes and an ashy finish. Medium body with average carbonation. Very nice
