Bottle: Dark amber coloured, thin off white head; fruity (raisins) nose, some traces of alcohol and roasted malts; starts sweet and fruity, sweetish flavour, leading to a longer bitter-sweet aftertaste; all in all quaffable, but lacks complexity.

(bottle) Dark reddish brown colour with a short frothy and diminishing off-white head. Sweetish and sugary malty aroma and flavour. It tastes like a German Malzbier with alcohol. I dont like it.

(Bottle 50 cl) 95% porter and 5% cherry syrup which must contain some very strong aromas, as this beer tastes excessively from cherries. Almost mahogany in colour with a defined reddish tint. Apparently you can have this warm as well, I had mine straight from the fridge though. Light bitterness from the porter, but the sticky, sickening sweet cherry-flavour dominates all over. Tough one to drink. And who the f... dragged the above commercial description through Babel Fish?? "The sagenhaft sueffige taste of "Lausitzer Porter", supplemented by the aromatically winter Punschnote, Porter+Punsch makes the ideal winter drunkenness." That sounds like something out of the Nurenberg trials - or Monty Python... 060205

[At Jyske Øldage 2004, Kolding] A red-brown beer with a disappearing head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel and licorice - much like a Danish hvidtøl. A nice beer, but light for a porter.

Sampled draught at Berliner Bierfest 2003. Very dark brown, clear. Clean and lightly roasty. Rather fizzy. Some salt in the finish, otherwise very neutral.

The aroma sour hoppyness. The color is brown and it has a fast disappearing head. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel. The body is thin especially taking the 7.5% ABV into account.

Broken white head, reduced in secs to white rim; dark, chestnut-brown beer. Lactic nose, sweet milk, faint nutty, very aromatic. Sweet, much like sweet worts, with both a tinge of acidity and bitterness. This last builds up a bit, but "Traubenzucker"-sweetness keeps firmly on top. Bready, woody palate, hint at bitter-adstringency that sits extemely uneasy on the main sweet components. Bit fizzy mouthfeel, soft-drink like. Given this blind, I would never think 4.4% ABV; but guess a German Malztrunk - alcoholfree wortsbeverage. The sweetness is too omnipresent, and makes in difficultly drinkable.

Dark amber color. Sweet, rotten aroma. Sweet, plastic note; just some caramel and a slightly metallic finish. Drinkable because of the sweetness, but a big mistake!

Sampled draught Berliner Bier-Festival.
Dark mahogany colour, no head. Vey sweet and honeyish. A tad roasty but the honey dominates. Soft, rounded mouthfeel and clean, sugary finish. A weak variety of Baltic, most likely bottom fermented porter.
