"German Porter" sounds like a marketing term to dumb down a classic German style for our unsophisticated American palates, but damned if it isn't a delicious beer regardless. Strong notes of mocha and bittersweet chocolate are backed up by hints of pumpernickel bread, toasted nuts, berry, and caramel, finished off by a firm roasted bitterness on the back end. Great pint.

Can shared by Matt A. Clear gold, nice sparkle, decent head, excellent retention and light lacing. Aroma is Pilsner/pale malts, mild dank herb. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Appropriate for style.

Mixes grainy grassiness with caramel and a firm floral undertone, with touches of toast and apple. Finishes with more flowers and a smidge of bitterness.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Barely translucent dark brown color. Creamy beige cap. Aromas of roasted malt, cocoa, cinnamon and allspice. Flavor upfront is light in body. Some cocoa, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. A bit like a Dunkelweizen. Pie spices are rather subdued. Given the label artwork, I was expecting more.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is some lemon-lime citrus hops. Flavor is an odd lemon pledge cleaner with a moderate bitterness. Finish is gone quickly. This did nothing for me. Some odd hops and no malt at all.

Aromas are dark malt, roast and a bit of tobacco. Flavors are similar to nose. Bittersweet with decent body and carbonation. Straightforward dark beer. Nothing special but very drinkable.

16 oz. can. Pours a hazy, yellow color, with an average, rocky, white head. The nose is grapefruit, grains of paradise, lemon zest, juniper, and hay. Dry and grainy, with a bracing, resinous bitterness. Medium, sticky, and a bit astringent. Pretty solid

Opaque colour and small beige head. Coffee and chocolate in the nose, some ash too. Medium-bodied. Roasted, ashy, chocolate in the flavour. A bit light for impy but clean classic strong stout.

A bit cloudy golden color and small white head and lace. Sweetish fruityness and citrus in the nose. Medium-bodied. Pinet, citrusy flavour. Crisp and clean.
