"PORTER"
This is the version after jan/feb 2024, when it was changed to 6% abv.
Before that date it was 8% abv and called "Imperial Porter" instead of "Porter". Rate accordingly!
Liquid black magic blessed with the essence of dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Experience the enchanting effects of roasted coffee, caramel, and dark chocolate in this full-bodied imperial stout. A sophisticated blend of different types of roasted barley gives the Howling Wolf that otherworldly dark appearance, layers of flavor, and a touch of sweetness. At 6%, this porter remains dangerously drinkable; you have been warned! A robust yet silky-smooth flavored potion that will leave you howling for more.

(Draft at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 25 Feb 2026) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with coffee, dark chocolate, dark bread and some citrus. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, citrus, pine needles, dark bread, red berries and a balanced roasty/piney bitterness. Tasty porter, with a fairly modern hop twist. Nice one.

Can, small bubbly head, very dark brown colour, roasted maltiness, dark bitter chocolate, hint of butteriness, strong candy and dried fruit sweetness with noticable alcohol showing. Nice and drinkable but quite simple and not too exciting.
