I don't get this brew or brewer.
First the brewer, the only English I found on their website was telling me that the website was copyrighted. But why would I copy something in German when it, basically, is impenetrable to me? Read me the rulebook; but don't let me read what you are about. Bad Overall marks for Lobau. I also don't get why they call this Schwartzbier and four other beers a Porter, ranging from a Radler to a Christmas beer. Very strange. See what an English button might explain?
As for the Kirsch. it is too damn sweet. In my nose, I wonder if I opened a cherry cola. I took one sip and I knew I didn't need dessert tonight... or finish this bottle. Lobau has set a new low bar for beer. This was a weird experience I will not repeat.

A nice looking dark and rich color, but the beer is a little too heavy on the sweetness of cherry for a porter. I lose some of the malty flavours, but it's a good fall drink.

Medicinal cherry and dark malts. Definitely a hypermarket beer.

Bought enthusiasticlly in a Berlin supermarket. No, just no. It tastes like fake cherries and sadness. There is no beer taste. I cannot finish it.

As you may expect this pours a dark chocolate colour with a finger width head the goes away quickly. The nose is sweet, almost cherry cola like. I can almost get a little chocolate on the nose but really have to fight past the cherry which is almost overpowering. It actually tastes like cherry pop, you could put this down for a blind taste test and I bet most would think it is a soda pop. I've had cherry porters before, but usually the cherry is more in the background and the chocolaty porter flavour is more up front. Almost the opposite here. Looks like pop, smells like pop, and tastes like pop. Almost want to add Amaretto and make a Dr. Pepper shooter.

I personally don't like over flavoured beer but for some reason I liked this...
