[1] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/13/2006 10:18:57 PM)
"While I admit that the brewer was doing something different, which I always will admire, this one just didn't do it for me. A pitch black pour with minimal head, the nose just didn't have much punch for a porter. Slight hints of roastiness but that's about it. Mouthfeel was thin, flavor was roastiness and some bitterness. I didn't taste anything that was remotely pumpernickel nor bagels so that was pretty poor. An average beer. Nothing more."

[2] Review by EyeChartBrew from CA, Liechtenstein who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/15/2005 1:14:34 AM)
"Now this was somewhat interesting. Again, I have to admit that, just like the bottle of Bagel IPA I had a few months ago, this Pumpernickel Porter was surprisingly interesting.
Black as a moonless night, with only wisps of foam hanging around near the rim of the glass. Served a bit too cold to get a real feel for the aroma, but still enough to note the roasty barley-ness in the nose -- or is that roasted pumpernickel?
Tasty mouthfeel, that highlights more of the roasted goodness in the flavor profile. Perhaps a touch too bitter for the style, but considering that I also think that Stone's 6th Aniversary Porter is excellent, I can truly live with such a "fault". :)
Bagel Beer still conjures up images of this being some sort of novelty beer. But after two interesting beers from the Lotsolox Brewing Company (nice name, I guess), maybe there's something more to this. Either way, give this a try if/when you happen to see it.
