Off menu recommendation from Greg at Birreria Paradiso. Easily the best beer of the night. Bottle 490 of 708. 5.8%. Dark ruby red, toffee aroma, light tan head that lasts forever, full mouth with flavors of burnt caramel, and a VERY late finish of espresso. Very complex. Classic English style porter.

(750ml bottle, thanks wickedpete) Clear dark brown body with small beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, chocolate, coffee, caramel, some toffee. Taste is medium sweet, coffee, chocolate, some roast. Effervescent medium body.

Deep brown, off white creamy head. Cocoa berry and raisin nose warms to soft swirls of brown sugar. Dark fruit and roasted cocoa flavors ride hints of overripe plum and coffee. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, bittersweet finish. Well made…

Bottled@Monks Cafe, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Deep brown/black colour, small beige head. Aroma is licorice, mild alcohol, vanilla and some dark dry fruity notes as well. Flavour is coffee, roasted malts, licorice and a lot of maltyness. Some slight chocolate and vanilla in the aftertaste. Very pleasant.

Bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Cloudy dark brown, thin beige head. Really good porter. Really good beer, nice chocolate flavours and another stunning beer from this really great brewery.

A Mes rate. Bottle at Chris O’s pre NYE tasting. Dark cloudy brown with a decent beige head. Gorgeous fruity aroma with some good earthy notes and some lovely creamy alcohol. Typical De Molen flavour. Great chocolate notes with a massive hit of excellent hoppy bitterness. Slight soap hints from the alcohol but it’s really not a bad thing. Straight forward but incredibly enjoyable. De Molen can do nothing wrong for me. Hats off to Menno.

Two-for-two from this brewery with this very enjoyable and basically well done porter. Chocolate aroma. A tiny head, though white bubbly on dark brown. A real natural carbonation that added to mouthfeel and drinkable. Taste is a tad sour, it works.

courtesy of Laurent Mousson and Ron Pattinson - very dark brown almost black colour, little beige foam; very roasted nose, prune and licorice, notes of chocolate; oily with a solid carbonation, medium-bodied, dry and very bitter, long and very hoppy, roasted aftertaste with more notes of chocolate and vanilla
