Hazy reddish-chestnut. No head. The aroma is toasty with chocolatey accents, earth, nuts. Full body at first, but gets a bit watery late. Watery-ish finish aside, it is mostly chewy. Sweetish flavour carries toasty, earthy malt notes and maybe some vague esters just for fun.

Brown colour, dull haze, no head. Lots of "brown" accents - toast, earth, turbinado and some wineyness. The body is thin, the toastiness and wineyness everpresent. Not at imperial stout, but once you get over this hurdle you can start to appreciate that it is a pretty tasty strong porter. The three main components are accented by some chocolate and dust notes.

Funny to see my translation from when I entered this beer years ago. At the time I was prepping for a trip to Argentina that never took place. I can safely say that when I was doing that, I never imagined that when I finally got to try this beer I would have bought it ten minutes down the street.

Dark chestnut colour. Complex, distinctive aroma of fudge, nuts, cane sugar, Mexican hot chocolate (Rey Amargo...not so many artificial ingredients and not so much cinnamon in that brand), evaporated milk (Dutch Baby brand...ok, just kidding I can’t tell the difference between different evaporated milks). Fairly full body. Relatively creamy palate, rounded out with sugars. Soft, lush milk chocolate, the maltiest Assam and yet it’s not a big, brash brew. There is a strange juxtaposition here between the full body and rich flavours on one side and on the other side the fact that everything is kind of light on the palate. Not something I see every day, that’s for sure. In the finish, a little bark-like (astringent) note detracts a bit from the overall presentation. Nonetheless, a solid porter, not an imitation stout like so many "porters" these days. I can dig that.

Bottled. Lightly hazy pale bronze colour, minimal head. Aroma of toffee and cognac. Sweet and caramelly, alcohol is evident as is an interesting pear flavour. Less full bodied than anticipated, rather low on hops. salty almost woody finish. A warming barley wine typical for the Argentinian micros.

Bottled. Dark brown, rocky head. Spicy licorice aroma. Medium dry, fairly hoppy, notes of aniseed. Clean flavourwise with roasty fairly bitter finish. A well made porter.

Bottled. Hazy golden, small head. Grassy, fruity nose. Medium sweet with clean flavour profile and crisp mouthfeel. Reasonably hoppy with a citric touch and some toffee. Susprisingly tasty!

Draught at the Tandil location. Lightly hazy golden, average head. Sweet with evident honey aroma. Medium bodied. Sweet, but stays away from being sticky. Intense floral honey flavour, vague vegetable finish. One of the better beers in a style I’ve never really understood.

Draught at the Tandil location. Very dark brown, fairly brief head. Spicy aniseed flavour with some peppery alcohol. With it’s clean mouthfeel and relatively light body (for an imperial stout) it is more drinkable than most beers of this style, and the roasty malt generates some interesting flavours. It is however to clean and straightforward to be really good in my liking.
