Pours light yellow. Fairly standard pale lager, but better than average for a mass produced one. Weak and watery mouthful. Nothing special.

It’s a pale ale all right and goes down quite easily, with very little coming in between you and the drinking - including a flavour, an aroma, an admiration of beer brewing in general. This is a backyard barbeque brew, and that’s fine, and it makes it passable as such, but it’s easily forgettable.

This was my first introduction to porters and is still a very good one. Nice dark coffee taste with aromas of burnt barley, but still very drinkable, and also nice and thick! A surprisingly good porter in spite of it being brewed halfway across the world.

Bottle from Kappldav123, brewed under license by Gambrinus Nagold. Best before august 1991, so almost 20 years old! Deep dark brown color. Still a small head and carbonation left. Sherry aroma with dark chocolate and grapes. Flavor has thinned considerably, but still has creamy chocolate, grapes, the last remains of roast, dust, sherry and strawberry. Has matured way better as expected. Past its peak, obviously, but carries the years gracefully.

Drink it quickly, it loses its carbonation fast. Actually quite flavorful before it warms and loses it’s fizz. Nice brown sugar nose and palate, slightly grainy

Bottle courtesy of mgermani: Poured a clear black color porter with a huge light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light dry coffee with some black chocolate is lighter then I was expecting. Taste is also a nice enough mix between some black chocolate notes with some more subtle traces of dry coffee. Body is just way too thin for the style, which was a big letdown but great carbonation and no apparent alcohol were enjoyed. At the end of the day thought, this beer has not enough of a full body for the style and could use some more character.
