The pride of Big Belly Brewing. After many, many, many (8) test brews we created a very complex malt bill (10+ premium Dutch The Swean malts) that makes this beer one of a kind. Perfectly balenced and sticky sweet. It’s thick, creamy and has flavours of chocolate, caramel, licorice and a subtle hint of peated whisky. Top 3 rated Porter in NL and enjoyed by experienced and beginning beer drinkers.

Bottle. Black pour. Aroma of chocolate, mild smoke, licorice and caramel. Taste has smoke, creamy peat, licorice, caramel, bitter chocolate and sticky malt. Peat is a bit too subtle, but the flavors work well. Bit too much carbo though. Good beer, a new brewery to watch.

Fles van het Biermoment. Ik haal er geen turf uit. Meer marshmallow, wat chocola en drop. Maar je hoort mij niet klagen

zwart met mooie fijne bruine kraag. aroma van geroosterde en gebrande mouten, cacao, wat drop. Smaken zijn vol van oa chocolade, melkchocolade, geroosterde en gebrande mout, matig bitter, alcohol, romig mondgevoel, redelijk tot volle body, lange volle chocolade smaak ook in de afdronk, zachte co2, ik mis de turf en of whisky mout, deze haal ik er niet echt uit, of wellicht nog wat te koud. niet al te complex, maar mede dankzij het volle en romige chocolade/moutige mondgevoel erg lekker.
