33cl bottle: BB7th Feb 2020. Drank at home on 16th Aug 2019. very dark body, beige top that soon became just a collar. Roasted maltiness rules both the aroma and taste, mild chocolate and coffee notes within the nose and flavours from those roasted malts, not a lot of hop action going on, but it's OK.

(bottle, 33cl) Slightly hazy, dark brown colour with a mid-sized tanned foamy head. Moderately roasted malty aroma with notes of dark chocolate, traces of vanilla and a whiff of herbal hoppy spice. Sweet and roasty bitter flavour, medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Dark and mildly roasted malt character with a slightly syrupy touch, dark chocolate, licquorice and mocha; sweet-bitter finish with a whiff of leathery, tannic acidity. 24.IX.18

Bottle in Munich. Toasty malty notes over a fine foam layer, dark brown unfiltered. Fantastic chocolatey roast notes with a bit of nuttiness, over a moderate to low hops level befitting the style. Hint of acidity? Great for dark roast drinkers, the chocolate malt really comes through with some caramel from the crystal malts.

Flasche: Deep amber coloured with a ruby sheen, presumably cloudy, medium-sized and quite stable tanned head; moderate sourish-sweet nose of cacao, toasted malt and vanilla; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, accompanied by - as expected - a slight acidity, relatively light bodied; drier and lingering bitter-toasty and chocolatey finish. A pleasant one...

“Vulkan Porter“, Flasche (33 cl) von REWE. - Tiefdunkelbraun, fast schwarz. - In der Nase kräftiges dunkles Malz mit Mokka, milde aber frische Herbe. - Antrunk schlank röstmalzig mit bitterem Mokka und trockenem Kakaopulver, mild säuerlich und etwas unrund. Eine Andeutung von krautigem Hopfen sorgt für schwach holzige, etwas unangenehm erdige Hintergrundherbe. Schlank bis dünn. Etwas unrunder Abgang mit säuerlich-erdigen Noten. Unschöner Nachgeschmack wie von Instantbrühe. - Zu säuerlich-unrund um mir zu gefallen.
