#18: Janis Porter (Naparbier)

Name: Janis Porter
Brewery: Naparbier
Style: Porter, 6.2%


Just like 60s fashion, this groovy-looking brew is past its prime. If you find this somewhere, keep that in mind. Even though it's old, there are nice chocolatey notes, and it tastes more boozy than I was expecting. I also generally like a thicker mouthfeel and less carbonation in my dark brews.
I don't have much to say about this one other than I wish it hadn't been cellared quite as long, but it's still plenty drinkable in my opinion.

Label: 3.5/5
Beer: 3/5

#3: Cat Porter (Bryggeriet Refsvindinge)

Name: Cat Porter
Brewery: Bryggeriet Refsvindinge
Style: Porter, 7.4%


OH MY GOD I LOVE CATS. So yes, if I see a beer with a cat on the label, chances are I'm gonna try it.
This was a lot smokier than I usually want in a porter, but it was a good beer. I think I'd just really have to be in the mood for it to fully appreciate it.
