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 33CL from dcmchew. Thanks!
Look: pitch black, beige frothy to creamy head.
Aroma: light licorice or minty (hops?), light smoke or rather ashy, black malts - some coffee and black chocolate. Some acid fruitiness is revealed when it is warmed up.
Taste: very dry roasted and ashy, thinnish body, and dry moderate bitterness in the finish. Again, a drop of sweetness appears by the time you finish the glass.
An ’Irish stout’ kind of porter.

330ml bottle from Vanuxeem. Pours black with tan head. Lots of smoked malts coming through, smooth and very nicely balanced with a little tobacco and the tiniest touch of sweetness. Dry finish. Very enjoyable.

Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. Very dark, clear, cola brown. Minimal, bubbly, tan head. Blackcurrant. Dark malt. Some liquorice. Some smoke. Taste is fruity dry. Smokiness on the palate. Overly carbonated, though. Sweetness on the finish. Mostly dry. Light bitterness, too.

Black with airy, offwhite head. Sourish, slightly smoky aroma. Flavour has as a lot more smoke, surprising. Creamy mouthfeel. Nice.

Bottle, 7.0%. Sweet and roasted aroma, vanilla, mild smoke. Black colour. Stable light brown head. The flavour has a nice roasted note along with a little smoke and a mild sweetness. There is also a little flowery hop note, giving it a bit of jam character. It has a very late, and very bitter roast barley bitterness.

Bottle @ D-Day in Mojnlandet :-) Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of roast, malt, and coffee. Bitter, roasty and smoky flavour, with touches of malt and coffee. Hints of liquorice and yeast. Roasty aftertaste with sweetish hints. A very nice porter.

Znakomite, niemal doskonale. Porter porzadnie czarny i porzadnie podwedzany. Stanowczo wytrawne i wedzone czarne piwo ze spora iloscia mazi w butelce. Piana szaro brazowa, gigantyczna, a po czasie zamiast opadac wrecz sama rosnie. Spodziewalem sie dobrego piwa a otrzymalem super smaczne. Naprawde nie ma sie czego przyczepic. Goraco polecam
