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.

Pours pitch black with a smooth white head. Aroma of roasted malts, licorice, ash and grass. Taste is smooth and roasty with hints of vegetables and licorice. Finish is slightly roasty with some hints of licorice and vegetables. Decent.

Bottle. Sweet smoky chocolate malt and prune aroma. Black brown with a large tan head. Smoky roasty malt, sweet chocolate, a little char, and light funky yeast flavor. Medium full body, soft carbonation. Nice.

Tap at Brasserie V. Stained-glass deepest burgundy-brown-black. Massive rusty beige head, big and foamy. Big smoke in the aroma, some chocolate. Belgian Porters, the few I’ve had, have been quite nice. This is no exception. Smooth roasty chocolate body, not overcarbonated, very mellow. Sweet but balanced by the smoke and the funky yeast tones. A really enjoyable offering, a cool addition to the Belgian beer world.
