Draught, half pint. Tasted on the 13/07/2018 at "Caminha Artbeerfest 2018", Caminha (Portugal). Clear copper colour with a low white head. Aroma is malts, grains, caramel, toffee and some brown bread. Taste is the same leading to a medium bitter and astringent finish. Next one please!

33 cl bottle in Confeitaria da ponte, Amarante (over the river Tamega, on a nice summer afternoon, right opposite the Igreja de São Gonçalo. Difficult to beat.) It pours hazy whitish golden with a nice creamy white head. Aroma starts as pure banana bubble gum, the develops into brioche and bread. Mouthfeel is soft, velvety and refreshing. Mouth-covering finish with no trace of bitterness at all. Quite nice.

Clear amber fox brown colour, firm white head. Aroma of caramel, malts. Relatively light sweet malty flavour, caramel. Malty finish, chocolate, light fruity. Hint of porto wine. Oxidation? It fits, though.
(from 33cL bottle @ home. Thanks for bringing the bottle back with you from holiday for me, Sanne!)
