The aroma gives up mild coffee, fresh woodiness, the tiniest bit of winter wind.  The flavor is much smokier than expected from a rule-following porter, although it isn&#8217;t as heavy as the average rauchbier.  It takes a couple of sips for the coffee to make an appearance on the tongue, but it does amble up eventually.  It&#8217;s a bitter and smoky beer, giving the impression of a traditional recipe, and has echoes of cold northern shores.  A bit of coffee-drink sweetness develops over time, but with a heavy hand still on the medicinal or herbal fruit of the coffee tree.  It&#8217;s pretty light, fairly easy to swallow, an easy-going drinking experience.  With oddly warm temperatures, it&#8217;s a good choice for a dark beer for many, although I could always do with something heavier, lover of darkness that I am.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/P2160501-e1708203968876-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1358\" style=\"width:357px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/P2160501-e1708203968876-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/P2160501-e1708203968876-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/P2160501-e1708203968876-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/P2160501-e1708203968876-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/P2160501-e1708203968876-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/P2160501-e1708203968876.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Supplier: Labirratorium<br>Price: \u20ac4.65<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I almost passed over this porter, thinking it being &#8220;by the book&#8221; as a little too uninteresting.
