Bottle that I picked up at Dorst Craft Beer shop, Den Haag, Netherlands and shared at Moncada Tap Room, Ladbroke Grove, West London, Friday 7th October 2016 Hazy, murky dark brown in colour with an off-white head. Some chocolate, it is a little chewy, it’s very drinkable as Ang says it’s not an amazing beer but it’s one of the most drinkable this evening. It’s a solid straightforward no nonsense beer, tasted more in the realms of a beefier Dubbel than a Baltic Porter to me. A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.5
