Christmas Eve Beers #8. Hazy dark reddish brown with a creamy head. Smoothish crisp porter, mostly regular in design, but pretty solid brewing in this respect. Mild roasted notes available in both aroma and taste.

Dark brown with a frothy off-white head and a mellow chocolate malt and dark fruit aroma. Fresh and fruity, some roasted malt, chocolate notes, a hint of coffee and a dry finish.

Can. Nose is earthy, dark malt, toast, hint of coffee and roast. Taste is toast, hint of smoke, umami, almost salty burnt toast, and an ash finish. Slightly thin body.
I really love the nose. Simple but incredibly evocative

Can. German porter. Noise is dark malt, spice, fruit cake, hint of cola. Tate is dark malt, hint of cola, smoke, meaty umami note, leading to a thin spicy finish.
I want familiar with a German porter as a district style. Very much enjoyed

My kind of beer. Good malty body, packed full of piney, citrus hops, with a great bitterness in the finish.
Lovely, rich chocolate and coffee malts, roasty with a smooth finish.
