Normally released around Christmas time, and maybe a special release sometime in May, The Vader Shuffle is a wood aged Belgian porter.

Hints of oak, spice and roast coming from the oak, Belgian yeast and roasted malts respectively. A cult classic from way back in the day!

OKish beer, both taste and smell are rather limited, overall OK beer not too special.

Draught at CBF Wien.
Brown body, with a medium, creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma of chocolate, cocoa, dark fruits, some coffee.
Tastes of cocoa, coffee, dark chocolate, dark fruits, wood, some liquorice.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes smooth, roasty, with coffee, cocoa, wood, some liquorice, some dark fruits.

Nice one. Nothing special overall, but smooth and well balanced, with very nice coffee and chocolate notes. The barrel aging isn’t very obvious for me.
