Danish ’winter porter’, I guess a missing link between international craft beer culture and the old Scandinavian ’juleøl’, from a 50 cl bottle bought at Beergium. Lots of pressure and a certain amount of gushing, so to be opened carefully, but I managed to pour it without losing a drop so okay. Towering high, rocky, bath foam-like head with a pale beige colour, reduced to an irregular, dense, closed layer of mousse after a few minutes; jet black robe, only revealing a chestnut brown hue on its edges and under bright light. Aroma of dried out coffee grounds, unsugared black chocolate, old Christmas pudding (could be autosuggestion), toasted rye bread, dry earth (especially after adding the sediment), candied fig and even cherry, dried plum, black peppercorns, treacle, vanilla beans, pear syrup, raw ginger, cloves, dry cookies, ’natural’ haemoglobin iron, melting butterscotch, dried apricot, roasted chestnut, ruby port, caramelized brown sugar, whiffs of liquorish candy, old jute bags, apple peel, marmelade, cocoa dust, sweet blue grape. Clean onset with sweetish dried plum and fig components as well as sourish blackberries and blueberries, with a slight mushroom-like umami accent somewhere; fizzy carbonation - or, more accurately put: overcarbonation linked to the gushing effect - but calming down after a while, eventually not distracting from the actual flavor anymore, luckily. This sharp carbo coarsens an otherwise smooth, oily mouthfeel, built from lightly caramelly, deeply nutty and very toasted malts, nicely bittersweet with a roasted, coffeeish bitterness in its tail. Finishes with still a lot of coarsening carbonation on top of lingering berry sourishness, dried fruit sweetishness, caramelly and toasted malt bittersweetness and herbal hop bitterness, earthy yeastiness and just a glimpse of warming, very lightly liqueurish alcohol; some spicy notes as well, but fortunately not the aniseed, coriander seed, allspice or other ’winter spices’ I had feared when I read "winter porter" on the front label. Apart from the gushing and the obvious overcarbonation, this is a very decent porter, lightly spiced to establish the connection with traditional Scandinavian winter ales, with a mild chocolatey sweetness paired with sufficient roasted bitterness. Could pass for a sweet stout just as well actually, but then there is no clear distinction between stout and porter anymore anyway in present-day craft beer culture so who cares. Enjoyed it, especially on a sombre and cold autumn evening like this one.

Pitch black, huge foamy tan head, receding slowly, heavy and flocky lacing. Aroma roasted malts, caramel, licorice, dark fruits, spicy. Taste light heavy sweet and light bitter, roasted malts, chocolate, earthy notes. Roasted sweetbitter aftertaste, chocolate and spices in the finish. Medium body, oily texture, lively carbonation, too much foam, bit sharp impression in the end, otherwise a nice porter.
