Dark, brooding and robust, all should bow their heads before the humble porter. Often misunderstood and misappropriated, the real porter is a thing of simple beauty. In its element, the sense of satisfaction you get form a full bodied, roasted coffee, malty chocolatey stout is unparalleled. Respect the elements.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, like a porter should, with rather fine, light brown foam. Aroma is soft of chocolate, toffee. Body is average, with little carbonation. Taste is moderately sweet, a little toasty. Final is not strong, but fairly lasting.

Bottle shared at Monyo. Pours deep brown with beige head. Nose is low chocolate and toasted notes. Taste is light chocolate again, dark malts, toasted notes too. Light body, soft carbonation, goes down easily. Pretty thin altogether.

Pours dark brown with a medium head. Roasty malts, dry cocoa, earthy. Mouth is dry and lightly chalky. It finishes with a dry, bitter profile. Solid porter hitting all the classic notes.

Burk från SB. Opak kolsvart vätska med medelhögt krämigt beige skum. Arom och smak av rostad malt, mörkt bröd, kaffe, choklad. Mjuk, len, fyllig och harmonisk. Gott
