A popular, old-fashioned British brew that unfortunately has become a rarity these days, Brown Porter owes its dark hue and name to the use of brown malts, which lend color but also distinctive, delicate notes of coffee and cocoa. Thanks also to its low alcohol content, it’s surprisingly easy to drink for a dark beer.

@ LIBF 2016. Dark brown, Lots of coffee, roastiness. Weak and refreshing but nice for that low alcohol level.

Bottle @ LIBF’16. Shared with the RB Belgian team. Brune foncé,e col beige. Arôme au nez malté, grillé et léger chocolaté, petit rétro fruité tirant vers le noble anglais et un léger fruité noir des malts. Palais est léger, malté, avec cette impression de drêche voire jus de céréales. Grillé avec un accompagnement amer léger venant de houblons nobles plutôt allemand. Le grillé est bien présent répondant bien au style Robust Porter.

Classically interpreted porter (the name ’brown porter’ says it all), tasted at LIBF. Moussy, off-white head, hazy very dark burgundy robe with wine-red hue. Aroma of dry cocoa powder, chestnut, ’natural’ iron, some liquorish, nut shells, cherry pits, dried fig. Restrained sweetishness in the mouth with a perfectly fitting sourish edge, medium carbo, nutty and supple, lightly oily malt body with a pleasantly toasted bittering accent, some herbal hops in the end, bit earthy. Standard old-fashioned porter in the league of Samuel Smith’s Taddy Porter and the like, smooth and cleverly balanced. It seems these guys are working on their way by first mastering some classical beer styles and they do a great job at it.

On tap @EurHop (Rome). Pours brown with a good off-white/beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, brown sugar, light coffee and dark chocolate. Flavour is delicate and balanced, light sweetness with a good bitter end. Light body, medium to light carbonation, watery and drinkable. Refined and very well brewed!

Mild kaffeeartiger, etwas herber Antrunk. Bitter malzig und ziemlich trocken im Mittelteil, die Kaffeenote bleibt. Okay. 11/9/8/8//9
