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.

On tap at De Wiering, Leuven. Wouldn’t call this a dubbel. Deep dark brown colour, creamy off-white head. Aroma is very sweet, malty, red and dark fruits, bubblegum, raisins, molasses, spices like star anise, amber malts. Flavour is very sweet, caramel, molasses, dark and red fruits, light spice, sweet star anise and alcoholic finish. Medium-bodied. Too sweet for me, but a nice dessert beer I guess.

20 Oct 2012: 33cl bottle at the Diest Bierfestival, shared with my wife. Dark brew with a good tan head. Sweet and sour feel to the beer from the start: sweet malty molasses vie with the semi-souring Port and a mini-hop bitterness in the nose and the mouth. Red fruit notes in the mix as well. Body wise the alcohol was fairly well hidden and I thought this one of the best Du Bocq brewed beers I’ve had so far.

Tasted under the naem Reserva 9° 2012 Dubbel Port Very good, lively & whipped eggwhite-like, light tan head, pretty resistant over red-shot dark brown beer. Rathre spicy nose, "dark" spices, melanoidins, garden herbs and dark green leaves. Sweetish smelling, yeasty, even a tad bready. Sweet, if hampered by CO² acidification and a hot feel as from chili. Very dull flavour, otherwise. The portwine gets no justification in the mouth, whatever the label claims. Feels definitely overcarbonated, fizzy, to the extend that the main taste is partly masked. Slightly hot feel, warming. Bland, as to be expected from Du Bocq. And finally, if there is really portwine added, is this a beer, or a cocktail?
