(Bottle 33 cl) Licensed, German version brewed for "Haus der 131 Biere".

Anker Brauerei Nagold version, 7.6% alcohol, says the label. Ruby brown color. Cherry and roast in the aroma. Sweetish flavor with roasted malt, raisin and a touch of maraschino cherries.

The style of this beer confuses me - the front label tells me, that it is a Porter, while the back label calls it a Dobbel bock, the appearance is much like a bock and it only has slight porter traces. The color is deep red with a lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet with only a touch of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with quite a lot of chocolate. The mouthfeel is very smooth. OK.

Molasses-like nose, sweet. Red-brown color and a low tan head. Chocoloate, roasted malt, very sweet flavor - slighlty spicey. Med-body, the alcohol comes through somehow. Pretty decent.

Bottled. Sampled at Delirium Café, Gothenburg, Sweden. Dark amber, bubbly beige head. Sourish aroma with small amount of nuts and toffee. Extremely bland to be a porter. Dry and sour with weak aroma.

Bottle. A bit too thin for a porter, a little sourness in the finish. head disappears fast.

Bottled, sampled at Delirium Café, Göteborg. Dark brown colour. Sweet malty, almost doppelbock-like nose, not with the almondy notes though. Bit spicy. Flavour is sweet malty, still a bit dry and ashy. Not very porter-ish.
