Here for the 12th Anniversary Party, so starting on this. Lots of tropical notes and a dankness running through. light-bodied, easy drinking in the sun

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Yellowish golden colour with a small white foamy head. Aroma is floral, fruity, nectary and some slight spicy and wooden tones. Flavour is floral, fruity, nectary and some mild zesty tones. Very smooth and refreshingly fruity/nectary.

Draft at Floating Taipei. Poured almost black in colour with a thin off white head. The aroma is roasty malt, big coffee. The flavour is liqourice bitter, with a smooth, roasty, dry ashtray, liqourice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Barely translucent cola brown color. Large, firm tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, fresh brewed coffee and cacao powder. Lovely bittersweet essence of dark roasted coffee and chocolate malt. Soft on palate. The roasted malt and coffee characteristics are completely merged to produce a singular complexity of flavor. My two favorite beverages are married into one. Absolute heaven. --- Beer merged from original tick of Coffee Porter on 22 Jan 2026 at 05:16 - Score: Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: 16 ounce can from Tavour. Opaque dark brown pour. Frothy tan head. Full blown coffee aroma. Flavors of dark roasted malt, dark coffee and dark chocolate. Man, this is one dark beer! Smooth flavor and body. Rich and satisfying.
