(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 17 Feb 2024) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, chocolate and liquorice. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, black bread, liquorice and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Smooth, clean and well made porter. Nice one.

Porter from the leading craft brewery in Rotterdam, from tap at Hal 16, Dok Noord, Ghent. Pale yellowish beige, creamy, membrane-lacing head on a pitch black beer. Aroma of strong coffee (espresso and coffee filters), pipe tobacco ashes, dried blueberries, bitter black chocolate, bayleaf, dry cookies, hard caramel, roasted walnuts. Some subdued sweetness at first, dried fig and green pear notes, softish carb, full and oily body; hard-caramelly, bitter-chocolatey and roasted-nutty core superseded by very pronounced, spicy and aromatic coffee roastedness, adding a lot of bitterness which matches well with the spiciness of the hops. This prominent coffee aspect brings both full-fledged roasted bitterness and aromatic spiciness here. Clean, sleek and to the point as usual with Kaapse, my kind of (old school) porter.
