Broeder Jacob Double Port is the first Belgian beer to be fortified with port. This brand new combination has brought something new to the beer landscape. The dark and full-flavoured beer has a subtile aftertaste of walnuts and produces a unique taste explosion that can develop to the flavour of a true vintage. The beer is fortified with the exquisite Tawny port Portal d’Azenha. This elegant and delicate port matures for at least five years in oak barrels. Enjoy this exclusive beer! EBC 120.

Bottled as Broeder Jacob Dubbel Port, BB 17/04/14, large sample. Hazy dark ruby color, medium rocky brown head. Aroma is very spicy of stuff like ginger and cardamom or simliar stuff, slight fruity, molasses, sugary, cherry chocolates, hint of marzipan, limoncello? (I sometimes have strange associatons :P). Quite sweet taste with quite some fruit and a little bit of spices. It sounds horrible, but its nothing like a fruit beer (nor like a port though), but maybe a mix between a xmas beer, a double and a fruit beer. Usually I hate this kind of blends, but although its quite unbalanced, I do like it a bit. Sometimes in the nose, it gives a hint of an aged chimay bleu, but then you take a sip and its way too sugary sweet. So there aroma and taste dont match. Weird brew that gets better every sip, which I would have expected the other way around.

Bottle at The Fiddler, Den Haag. Poured a deep mahogany colour with a thin off white head. The aroma is of yeast and citrus fruit. The flavour is medium bitter, with lots of yeast, acidic citrus fruit and a little alcohol on the crisp but smooth palate. Quite refreshing but there isn’t a lot between this and the Espresso.

2012 Vintage. 33 cl. bottle @ home as “Broeder Jacob Double Port”. Procured from ALBO. BBF 27/02/2016. Dark brown mahogany mixed with dark red and an immediately vanished coffee head. Nose is liquorish foremost with some dark fruits, church wine touch, slight nice oxidation. Taste is quite a bit of liquorish, slight anise, bitter herbs, finish is quite warming, far above the ABV, Porto warming, slight church wine / red grapes feel, slightly alcoholic dark fruits, slightly sweetish. Body is far lighter than something like this needs. Not a bad attempt at something else, although from the label I gather that they just poured some Porto on it as opposed aged it on Porto barrels. Not as good as I hoped that it would be.

Flaske delt med medbrygger Ovesen: en sweet avslutning på tappe- og omstikkingskveld. På etiketten står det Broeder Jacob Double Port. Rødbrun og med fint rødskjær også i skummet. Aroma av mørke frukter, tenkte ikke på portvin til å begyunne med, men det snek seg inn etter hvert, både i aroma og smak. Uten å være påtrengende, bare en antydning.Førsteinntyrkket er friskt og bæraktig. Kjempegodt øl for en som er glad i dubbel-stilen.
