Draght at the brewpub.
Almost black body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, dark beige head.
Aroma of toast, liquorice, coffee, caramel, cocoa, dark fruits.
Taste follows this, with additional subtle vanilla.
Full, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes smooth, quite dry, roasty, toasty, with coffee, cocoa powder, some wooden notes, some alcohol warmth.
Tasty. Smooth and greatly balanced, with enough toasty dryness and coffee to balance the dark sweet notes. Quite strong style example, but not overpowering, with a well hidden ABV. Overall propably my favourite Porter from Austria so far, pretty much how I want this style.

Draght at the brewpub.
Dark brown body, with a big, creamy, lacing, beige head.
Aroma of coffee, cocoa, slight liquorice, citrus, passion fruit, orange.
Tastes of citrus, orange, some grapefruit, passion fruit, cocoa powder, smooth coffee, chocolate.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes quite dry, smooth, medium roasty, zesty, citric, moderate fruity, with coffee, cocoa, some liquorice.
Very nice. Really smooth and well balanced, drinks pretty fresh, but still with enough roasty notes. The dry finish makes this even easier to drink, the ABV is completely hidden. Overall not among my favourite style examples, but among the best BIPAs from Austria I’ve had so far.

Draght at the brewpub.
Dark golden, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of citrus, some orange, flowers, some grass, candy, biscuit.
Taste follows this pretty much.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium sweet, moderate dry, medium hoppy, a bit grassy.
Good. Easy and fresh, with a good balance between floral and citric hops and a sweet malt backbone. Nothing special overall, but a solid style example.
