Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is roasted malt, cocoa, dark chocolate, coffee, caramel, touch of dark berries with hints of peat. Flavour is sweet with a very decent roasty bitterness. Body is medium to full. Tasty and fairly rich Porter with lots of chocolate.

Imperial porter brewed with peated whisky malt, by a craft brewery in Breda in the southern Netherlands. Thick and densely moussy, yellowish beige, regular, bit uneven-bubbled but tightly structured head, slowly retreating over a misty dark chocolate brown beer with burgundy edges - blackish, but not quite black. Aroma of toasted hazelnuts, hard caramel, indeed a whiff of peated whisky but far less strong than I was expecting (and, frankly, hoping), dried prunes, sweet pipe tobacco, fudge, pecan nut pie, liquorice, burnt raisins, 'Koetjesreep', nutmeg, calvados, ripe pear, subtle hints of blackberry jam, caraway seed, cinnamon, cedarwood, green banana, cold Irish coffee, chewing gum. Sweetish onset, quite dense, raisins, dried prunes and a touch of pear but also a light umami note (porcini), lively carbonated in a fine-bubbled but still - for style - somewhat stingy way; full, rounded, oily mouthfeel, the mouth cavity filling with pecan-nutty, slightly hazelnutty, bitter-chocolatey and hard-caramelly malt layers, sweetish at first but quickly drying when a powdery, rooty roasted bitterness sets in, connecting well with the peated whisky malt aspect (bag of actual peat retronasally!) and a late but long and confident, leafy, rooty hop bitter component. Recurring liquorice as well, followed by heating gin- and cheap moonshine-like alcohol in the end, a tad wry on the root of the tongue, peppery as well and somehow just a bit too 'present' for my personal liking, scorching away the flavours in the finishing stage. Burnt pecan nuts, brown bread crust and indeed (actual) peat linger, but everything considered, I was expecting the peat - though very obvious - to be more prominent. Reasonably well-constructed imperial porter, but a bit less boozy, a bit more biscuity and a bit more peaty even could have made this creation more exciting. Decent and entertaining enough, but that astringent booziness really downgraded it for me. Much better has been done in this particular segment.

Bottled (Alko Web). Black colour, mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is smoke, some peated tones, liquorice and mild toffee. Flavour is peat, alcohol, liquorice, some wood and a slight metallic edge to it (which gets stronger as the beer warms up). Nice level of peat, but the metallicness ruins the flavour.

Zwart bier met schuim wat snel wegzakt. Smaak is licht bitter en zoet met iets van chocolade, wat koffie en karamel. Verder is iets van anijs te bespeuren. Mondgevoel is een beetje waterig.
