Really tasty, well balanced 5.4% porter. The nose features chocolate milk, vanilla, roasted malt and vanilla. Lots of the same in a nice creamy mix in the taste profile. Touches of coffee, caramel, almonds and other nuts, and tea round out a smooth taste experience. A really nice brew. It’s obviously hard to get good ratings with the ratebeer crowd unless you are a hop bomb or an Imperial Stout. Pity.

Draught at Zeezicht Breda. Opaque black color, thick dense Micha colored head. Aroma is malts, cocoa powder. Flavor is malts, dark malts, cocoa powder, a bit dusty, distant vanilla but perhaps because it was served very cold. Decent to medium body and decent carbonation. Quite nice.

Runder, vanillig malziger Beginn. Weich, etwas Schokolade, hohe Süffigkeit. Wenig Kaffee, zunehmend herb, mittellanger Abgang, konstant nach Vnaille. Gut. 9/11/10/10/10/10

Optisch wunderbar, schöner Cappuccino-Schaum. In der Nase Schoko, etwas Kaffee. Im Trunk setzt sich das fort, nussig, spät Kaffee, süß, mittig etwas unrund. Passt trotzdem.

35cl Blik van Beer Republic Advent '24. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Hint van vanille, hint van koffie, extreem waterig, lijkt op Spa Rood met een smaakje. Lichte body, teveel koolzuur. Zeer matig.
