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.

Pitch black beer, beige head. Aroma of chocolates, hazelnut, cocoa. Flavour sweet chocolate, slight smoke. Creamy texture. It’s nice but it seems to miss depth.

Bottle. Black with an inch of tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, licorice, dark sugars, wood with some smoke. Taste is fairly dry with chocolate, coffee, mild roasted bitterness, ash. Dry finish with cocoa and smoke. A good beer I’d never guess was Belgian.

330ml bottle shared with Finn at Brasserie Erasmus. Modest fawn coloured head, deep dark-brown coloured body. Dark, mid-sweet malty aroma. Mouth filling taste of coffee bitterness and dark chocolate malts together with hints of anise. Long-lived ending. Tasty stuff (Brugge, 04.05.2011).

Imported from my RateBeer account as Viven Porter (by Brouwerij van Viven):
Aroma: 7/10, Appearance: 5/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 4/5, Overall: 13/20, MyTotalScore: 3.6/5
9/05/2011 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 11/02/12 (2011-201)
Very dark brown beer, creamy beige to brown head, stable and non adhesive. Aroma: mocha, smoke, coffee, charcoal, very dark chocolate. MF: a little too much carbon, full body. Taste: wood, mocha, coffee, smoke, tobacco, more coffee and in the end some coffee. Aftertaste: coffee again, very bitter coffee. A little caramel and some green apples balancing with some tartness. Not my cup of tea, but a very interesting brew and probably good for the stout/porter lovers.
