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.

Very good brown-beige head, stable, leaving lacerings over near-black beer with some red-brown reflections. Soft smoked-woody notes, wet wood, lightly phenolic, not salty. Coffee, cigarashes, smoked with just a touch of sweet maple syrup in the background. Medium bodied, very slick, ever so slight alcoholwarming. Easy drinkable, smooth as it is. Nice smoked porter, maybe just a tad too timid, but obviously sporting very good balance. But - "Art of Flemish brewing"...porter...IPA...??

Bottle from Beermerchants.com. Pours black with a tan head. Aromas of vanilla, chocolate, smoke, coffee. Very nice nose. Smoky, burnt wood flavours with a hint of coffee, licorice and chocolate. Good roasted malt character. Very well balanced. Smoky-sweet hoppy finish. Very nice.
