C3PO - Porter

C3PO is a term that fans of science fiction immediately associate with an android The human-like robot in gold speaks pretty much every language that exists in our galaxy and all other galaxies and boasts impeccable etiquette In the genre's most epic film series, he was the loyal companion of one of the key characters

The team at the Kuehn Kunz Rosen brewery are also fans of intergalactic adventures When they designed a porter with cherries, chocolate and chili, they came up with a little play on words: If you translate the beer's special ingredients into English, you have an alliteration with the three words cherry, chocolate and chili - together with the beer style, that makes three Cs and a porter that can be abbreviated to "PO" Long story short: C3PO from Kühn Kunz Rosen has nothing to do with androids The little robot on the label and the title reveal the geeks behind the boilers nonetheless

The spacy beer is a coffee-brown symphony of strong roasted aromas, delicately melting chocolate, fine cocoa, summery sweetness, fruity acidity and a hint of fiery spiciness Three different malts give the brew its velvety-soft consistency, while the hops remain discreetly in the background and only contribute an elegant bitterness
