Aroma is dark chocolate, roasted malt, dark cherry liqueur and smoke . Taste is quality dark chocolate and roasted malt.
Tap @ Arendsnest, Amsterdam I 2019. Volle diepe rokerige gebrande moutige turf smaak. Licht zoet met sterke tonen van koffie en cholcola en rijk aan donkere gedroogde herfstachtige kruiden. De rokerige gebrande mout geur sluit hier perfect bij aan. Droog met stevige bitter, licht alcoholisch, smaak blijft lang hangen en genoeg body om deze nogmaals te willen herbeleven. (7 maanden later was het zover) Diepe rokerige gebrande turf geur. Perfecte diep zwarte kleur met een olieachtige structuur en een volle zachte bruine schuimkraag. Proefglas & Fles
Tap @ VAF 2018 / 30.11. Black pour, some brown foam on top. Nose is roasted, dry blackberries and some smoked leather, quite thick. Tastes super dry but lots of roast and burnt black bread there. Medium body, quite intense roast edge. Dry as a desert. Unusual but definitely not bad.
33 cl bottle, served in snifter. Poured black with two finger tan head. Aroma: roasted espresso beans, dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, dark fruit, roasted nuts. Taste: dark chocolate, loadsa dark roasted bitter espresso beans, umami/soy sauce, caramel fudge, brownie, salty licorice, plums, raisins, vanilla, nuts. Medium to full body with a big roasted bittersweet finish. Great brew, really enjoyed this one...
A strong sweet smell of roasted malt and chocolate, very nice.
The head is small, beige and fizzy with a rather short duration.
A malty taste, light bitter, dark chocolate, coffee and liquor.
The body is medium strong, creamy and light oily with a normal carbonation. A very good one!
Black pour, brown head. Aroma has lots of raisin and dark chocolate. Taste follows, with prune.
Ik ben dol op Porters en deze prijswinnaar van de Bronckhorster Brewing Company is daar geen uitzondering op. Chocola, cacao, volle afdronk, een 8% topper!
Uiterlijk: zwarte olie, zonder schuim.
geur: gebrande mout, rokerig, koffie en bittere chocolade.
Smaak: Vol zoet, kruidig, iets rokerig, bittere chocolade, sterke koffie en iets zuur.
Mond: volle smaak die lang blijft hangen.

Bottle. Color hazy brown with small head. Aroma some smoke, malt, toffee, caramel. Taste malt, caramel, smoke, dark fruits.
330ml bottle thanks to MonsterMagnet (Euro Local Swap 1/2018). Pours very dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma and taste of chocolate, sweet dark fruits, peat, touch of smokiness, roasted malt, old leather. Medium bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Not usually keen on peaty beers but this one really grew on me, it's well balanced.
15 apr 18 ingevoerd -Oude waardering van bierfestival in 2014 (!). Prima porter, sterk van smaak, overtuigend. 21 mei 23 fles, vol van smaak, mooi donker met beperkt bruin schuim. Vaag koffie en choco, maar niets overdreven in smaak, iets exta mondgevoel en totaal
Niezły aromat. Brązowe, klarowny, nieprzezroczyste. Obfita, sredniotrwala piana.

Fles op tasting bij Carl. U: Bijna zwart met een licht bruine schuimkraag. G: Zurig, rokerig, gebrand, turf en kruidig. S: Zoet met moutbitterheid en een licht zuurtje. Leder, turf en licht kruidig. M: Volmondig met medium carbonatie.
I do not understand what the hubub is about here, to me it tastes like a beer that's quite off, it actually has a sour bitaste which I don't believe is the main aim of a porter. Secondly it produced more foam than my bathtub does.. also a ominous sign. Maybe I had that one bottle which was off, it's possible. But it deters me of buying this one anywhere soon.
als kleine jongen in korte broek ging ik iedere week van mijn kwartje zakgeld naar de snoepwinkel. Planken vol met snoep in alle maten kleuren en geuren. Dropjes voor een cent per stuk. Bazooka kauwgom, eetpapier, toverballen. Bij de eerste slok van deze Porter stond ik weer in dat winkeltje. Zo'n bier
Amazing beer with a nice smoking taste that preserves for a long time. You can enjoy it for a long or drink more than one. Respectful alcohol level that powers the night taste of the beer.
Bought @ Slijterij De Filosoof
Aroma whiff of whiskey, coffee, prunes and red fruit. Taste is strong black coffee, some sourness, red fruit and licorice. Oily and creamy palate.
Bottle 0.33l at home, Vantaa. BBE 26-05-2018. Colour is very dark brown with small slightly brownish head. Aromas and flavours: Coffee, chocolate, dark chocolate, dryness and roasted malts. Pretty good. Strong flavours.
Bottle from Wolters, Wasserbillig, Luxembourg!
Pours deep black with a thick brown head. Aroma has massive malts, burnt coffee, chocolate. Taste is burnt, bitter malty, strong coffee, licorice, chocolate and slight cherry notes. Very long finish with burnt coffee and licorice!
Glass at ’’de Zwarte Cross’’, Black brown beer, medium head. Aroma is coffee, malt, roasted, chocolate. Taste is the same, some espresso flavour, very nice.
Home. 33 cl bottle. BB 30-09-18. 35 IBU. 115 EBC. A good head with a brownish colour. A clear beer with a brilliant dark ruby res. Aroma of dark malt, slightly smoked and chocolate. Taste of dark malt and smoked with coffee and bitter chocolate. The nice hop bitter looks like under cover. Also some cherries. Somewhat warm alcoholic. Full body. Good balance. Nice bitter from the (smoked) malt and hops.Take your time to drink this beer.

A great one.Doesn’t have to hide behind the great Baltic Porter’s or Imperial Stouts
Appearance - pours black, with a creamy, foamy, hazel head. Very inviting.
Aroma - upon opening the bottle the beautiful smell of smoky bacon immediately put a smile on my face (and I’m a vegetarian, go figure!). After the pour the other aromas came out really nicely. There was definitely coffee there. And I’m not talking simply coffee-coffee. Oh no, I’m talking super-freshly ground mocha coffee beans, absolutely gorgeous. There was another wine-y, earhty, woody-quality there that almost made me think of an aged tawny port. Even before taking a sip I found myself moaning (in a good way!).
Taste - I was super-pleased that the smokiness in the nose translated to a beautiful woody tobacco in the mouth (rather than tasting of ashtray). The roast of the malts return as the freshly ground mocha coffee beans are in the mouth as well as they are in the nose. The tawny port quality gives it just that extra little bit of special, and best of all: it wasn’t syrupy or overly sweet at all, and actually has a really nice hoppy bitterness to it.
Palate - not watery at all, and neither was it syrupy or too fizzy. Had a really nice, almost velvety texture.
Overall - my favorite porter to date. Even barrel-aged porters or imperial porters haven’t been able to hold a candle to this one as of yet. Not too sweet. Freshly ground mocha beans, tawny port and woodsy tobacco. Wonderful. I found it an absolute blast of a rollercoaster of evolving flavors. And it was so well balanced I found myself enjoying picking out the flavors one by one simply by attending to them rather than having to go out and forcibly ’search’ for them. Gorgeous beer. Again, my favorite porter.
33cl bottle at home. Appearance: dark with big beige head. Gusher. Aroma: boozy, roasted malts, port, caramel, toffee, fruits. Taste: medium sweetness and fairly high bitterness. Notes of coffee, roasted malts, bread, hops and some alcohol. Palate: medium bodied, oily texture and medium carbonation.
Bottle from Monster Magnet. Mi first Bronckhorster Brewing Company rating. Aroma: Chocolate, dark fruit, roastiness, light alcohol. Appearance: Cool head, black body. Taste: Lots of dark fruit, coffee and chocolate, light tobacco, lightly sour, roasty. Palate: High body, sweet finish, low carbonation.
Zwart als de nacht. Compacte crèmekleurige schuimkraag. Behoorlijk wat carbonatie. Rokerig aroma. Smaken van chocolade, rook, leer, toast, mout, koffie. Licht bitter-zoete afdronk. Zeer goed over heel de lijn. Misschien iets te veel koolzuur maar dat is dan ook het enige (kleine) minpuntje.
