BrewDog Alice Porter
BrewDog Alice Porter
Rated 3.500 by BeerPals
Few beers are shrouded in secrecy like the porter; a beer whose roots are said to be punctuated by hurried footsteps along cobbled London streets and swirls of mist from atop the River Thames. Decloaked and radically reinvisaged, BrewDog's Alice Porter is a 6.2% sacred union of one 300-year-old recipe and two cross continental hop varieties. A delicate mirage of chocolate, red fruit and burnt sugar, let Alice Porter whisk you away to a forgotten time juxtaposed against the backdrop of modernity. And then, before you know it, she's gone... tumbling down a rabbit hole into the same obscurity that first caught your attention. Leaving but the question – who or what is Alice Porter?

330 ml capped bottle. Poured in a snifter a dark-dark-brown, close to pure black, coloured Baltic Porter with a one finger tan and dense foamy head that had a long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Low carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is a powerful dark fruits feeling, plums, raisins combined with solid roasted coffee beans, earthy hops, notes of dark chocolate and smoke. The flavour is powerful roasted malts, toasted coffee beans and strong bitter, a spicy touch with licorice. The mouthfeel is light crispy, fulled and strong bitter. The texture is oily. This medium to full bodied B P has a lingering strong bitter finish. A characterful, tasty and very convincing Baltic Porter from Scotland.

Nose, first thing smoke, clear black look. Back to the nose, molasses and burnt sugar. Nicely balanced just a touch to the bitter side of things. Very clean taste, smooth and well crafted. Thinner in body but full flavoured. Coffee shows up more and more, definitely a cool progression of the porter style. I always feel like its hard to make hops distinctive without distracting in the porter/stout styles and this does it incredibly well.

330 ml bottle, under its Norwegian alias BrewDog Høst Porter ("renaissance baltic porter"), from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 6.2%. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Dense and lasting beige head. Nice roasty aroma with moderate notes of coffee, smoke, wood, sea water and tar, hints of vanilla and liquorice. The flavour is moderately roasty and fairly dry, notes of coffee, wood and smoke. The mouthfeel could have been fuller. Fairly bitter finish.

Pours out in a shady dark brown colour with a low firm tan-coloured head. Quite a big and bold roasted malt character with with strong coffee notes with distinct spicy hops. Medium-bodied with rather thick malty notes of coffee and roasted malts with of fresh peppery and slightly grassy hops. Long aftertaste of coffee, roasted malts, chocolate and the ever present distinct peppery hop notes which keeps it's somehow quite refreshing. Quality porter this, in the new school.
