Flasche (33 cl) von Jenny Lou’s, Peking. - Tiefschwarz mit einer dünnen Decke dunkelbeigefarbenen Schaums. - In der Nase überraschend kräftige Hopfenaromen, die an ein IPA erinnern: tropische Frucht, Nadelwald, Menthol, erst dahinter Röstmalz und Mokka. - Antrunk ebenfalls wuchtig hopfenaromatisch, gefolgt von Mokka und Bitterkakao. Malzsüße ist kaum ausgeprägt. Gut rezent, fast etwas zu sehr; schlank und trocken. Im Abgang kräftige holzige Hopfenbittere, beinahe verbranntes Röstmalz und eine deutliche Note von Asche. - Interessantes Porter mit geballten, fast schroffen Hopfen- und Röstmalzaromen.
