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.

From the bottle. Virtually black with a light beige head. Aroma is charcoal and chocolate fudge. Taste is sweet up front, full of chocolate and caramel. The smoke and the bitterness plays out at the finish, which is bittersweet overall and ends with a light hint of cherry. Body is medium, quite oily, carbonation is mild. Very nice.

Bière bouteille 33 cl achetée chez Vanuxeem près de Comines. Bière d’un noir profond et opaque, belle mousse marron qui tient pas mal. Nez intense et très fumé, torréfié, sur de la salaison, café noir, cerise et fruits rouges. Bouche d’une texture crémeuse sans être trop épaisse. Carbonatation moyenne. L'alcool est présent mais pas trop fort. Une très belle bière qui tout en ayant beaucoup de caractère est vraiment équilibrée.

33cl bottle @ home from Willems en Zonen, Grobbendonk BE. Pitch black colour with a big, lasting, slightly chunky brown head. Smells roasty, chocolate, sweet, some liquorice, slightly alcoholic and some iron. The first thing I notice about the taste is some iron, which is a downer for me. I also taste roastness, liquorice, liquorice wood, a slight saltyness and some salmiak. I?m not a big fan of liquorice taste in beers. Medium to full body, large co2 bubbles and slightly dry. It?s a nice beer but not really amazing or anything. After eating some cheese the chocolate in the beer is more noticable, which makes it a better beer for me.
