Bottle drunk watching Star Wars Ep2. Dark brew with a big but fast and noisily fading head. Nose of molasses, roast, faint cacao. Thin body but smooth dark-malt flavor, low bitterness. A bit watery to be honest, it's missing some punch on the back end, but tasty dark & meaty flavors nonetheless.

Dark brown colour, beige foam disappears immediatly. Roasty, notes of coffee and cocoa, dry and bitter. A bit one dimensional and too much carbonation. Not my favourite porter.

Toweringly huge, grey-tan head, very lively over almost black brown beer. Coffee, roast, rust, ironoxyde. Tobacco, lots of roast, Maillard, black breadcrust, hints at restsugars, but no real sweetness. Finish displays a clear stout acidity. Feels better bodied than it really is. Quite slick, very well-carbonated. Not bad! Txs to Stef!

Flaska från Etre. Opak, näst intill svart väska med lågt. Kanske mer stout än porter. Aningen syrlig, mycket cold brew, koltabletter, välrustad toast, svart vinbär, russin, peppar, järn, jord och en lätt gräsig beska. Trevlig

26 April 2022. At Hal 16 (Dok Brewing). Shared with the lovely Anke!
Hazy black, stable, frothy, beige head. Aroma of walnut, toasted chestnut, hazelnut, plain toast, rye bread, coffee grounds. Taste has restrainedly sweetish-sourish prune & fig in a heavy malt core of toast, chestnut & hazelnut, strong note of bitter coffee too. Herbal hoppy finish offering lots of roasted coffee & toasted nuts, dry black tea even. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Technically flawless, quite impressive.

New porter bij 't Verzet, brewed with five malts (including Maris Otter and chocolate malt) and hopped with Fuggles. Gusher, overflowing a second after opening so keep a glass nearby. Thick and moussy, bit uneven-bubbled but regular, crackling, pale greyish beige head, slowly opening but generally well-retaining over a black beer with thin hazy chocolate brown edges. Aroma of roasted walnuts, coffee filters of two days old and cold coffee grounds, burnt brown bread crust, cracked leather, very old hazelnuts, nutmeg, hints of ferrous spring water, haemoglobin, India ink and something grassy in the background. Quite crisp onset for the style with lively tingling, minerally carbonation, dry from the start with a few fruity hints of dried fig and blackberry, mild sourish undertone; supple body but feeling quite 'full' for a beer of this ABV, brown-bread-crusty and toasted-walnutty core, quickly shifting to full-on roasted bitterness, turning very 'cold black coffee'-like in the end. All the while, a blood-like iron effect sits on the edges, while spicy aspects of pepper and nutmeg build up; ends emphatically roasted (filling the mouth) with an added dash of grassy Fuggles bitterness and something vaguely leathery. An earthy hop bitterness lingers strongly, even beyond the already powerful roasted bitterness. Packed with flavour for a beer below 5% ABV and what is more interesting, is that Verzet is apparently venturing into classic English beer styles lately: this one was released together with Spunky Speedo, an EPA dubbed "London pale ale"; difficult as it may be for non-English brewers to fully grasp the heart and soul of the English ale family tree, I must admit that Verzet does a more than decent job, both in Spunky Speedo and in this one. If you do not take the traditionally English aspect of both too puristically, that is: this one, for instance, though intended as a brown porter, shows a lot more body and roasted bitterness than would normally be the case in 20th- and 21st-century brewing, and for me it feels more like an Irish dry stout than an English brown porter - but I am not complaining.
gave a cheers!

Black with creamy head. Coffee. Roasted elements and dark chocolate but falls away quickly. Watery, thin.
