330 ml bottle. Unclear orange body with a small white head. Quite nice aroma of wheat, fruit, some yeast and oranges. Flavor has quite much fruitiness, more fruit than wheat. Still feels nice and definitively refreshing. Medium body and refreshing in aftertaste. Not a very complex beer, neither correct in style for a wheat, but well balanced and super refreshing. Enjoyable.

330 ml bottle labeled 6,8% so I assume this is similar as the 7% version. Unclear dark brown body with a foamy, lacing tan head. Aroma has dark malt, dark chocolate and coffee, not particular strong. Flavor has slightly roasted dark malt, expresso coffee and hint of dark chocolate. There is also a relatively strong bitterness, but not really the fruity kind of hoppy bitterness – it’s more like bitter coffee. Medium body and decent aftertaste. Quite OK but not really impressive. A bit plain in a way, but definitively drinkable with no faults.

330 ml bottle. Unclear dark reddish to orange body with a big, creamy, lacing off-white head. Nice malty aroma with a hint of caramel and fruit. Flavor is medium sweet malt, moderate bitterness and some spiciness. Quite balanced. Medium body and OK aftertaste. Totally decent and enjoyable.

330 ml bottle. Deep amber body with a nice beige head. Lively carbonation. Mild aroma of coffee and acidic fruits. Flavor is light acidic, mild roasted malt and acidic coffee. Slightly harsh bitterness. Thin body and aftertaste of sour coffee. Not very good, I believe the sourness is not intended and this is a batch gone bad.

Turbia, color plátano. Bastante sedimento. Un dedo de espuma consistente. Aroma lácteo y algo especiado. Carbonatación notable. En boca pierde en parte el carácter lácteo, lo que se agradece. En su lugar tira más hacia cítrico, acompañado de un dulzor malteado y cierto tono alcohólico, sobre todo al final mientras se muestra un amargor importante. No está mal. Aunque tampoco para repetir

33cl. Best before 08/2015. Dark amber in the glass, fresh and floral nose. The beer starts sharp and citrus-bitter without much floralness. Earthy-muddy, sweetish-sticky and not too aromaful. Moderate bitter and sticky-sweetish but earthy bitter aftertaste. Hints of muddy pine and citrus, but the thick and sweetish-sharp body kills all nice hoppy aroma. Sad.

very nice cacao character mixed with good roastiness and smooth body. Coffee is fairly subdued. A touch sweet with some nutty notes. Very nice, pleasant porter.

10/11 A 0.33 l bottle brought from Bilbao by Marko’s friend, thanks both of you! I was sure I had this one, since I remembered very well the 5% version so while we enjoyed it nobody even noticed the difference in ABV. The labels are the same just the numbers are different. Anyway, it poured hazy darker brown body with small brown head, just like weaker version. Aroma had lots of caramel and dried fruits as well, along with some coffee which helped it to smell like a real porter. Flavor was even more similar to the one I had, with specific caramel and cocoa building up to coffee and spicy finish. Incredible how I remembered the other Beltza porter vividly and since alcohol was so well hidden there was no way to separate the minute differences. It has been a nice beer and this was probably even more rounded, fuller and more enjoyable.

Another huge thanks to Ana D for sharing this with heavy and me! After the Petr-A-Porter, this one had to be brilliant to impress. Did it? Hmm... murky dark brown body. Dusty yeasty aroma, coffee, with some sweetness. Dryy taste, coffee & dark chocolate, sweet maltiness. Bitterness up front. Pleasant, complex, slightly sweet, slightly yoghurty and certainly a good beer, just not as brilliant as the other Spanish porter I’d recently had.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, fruits, caramel, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.
