Bouteille 33cl, merci Tim - BB 11/2024.
Gusher léger avec un col hyper actif qui déborde en excès.
Brune foncée-cuivrée, col trop actif blanc-cassé.
Arôme est un peu off - poussiéreux, vieux grenier avec qcq notes de caramel, fruits noirs et ce côté crystal toasté qui revient en support tout en ayant une finalité un peu sauce soja.
Palais malté cara pâle, finement biscuité avec un effet un peu umami avec déjà un léger effet de sauce soja. Le tout avec un support de fruits noirs. Le tout est assez sec en bouche ce qui augmente le côté grillé - chocolaté avec petite pointe de sésame - ganache au café.

Porter by this brewery in West-Flanders, thanks tderoeck! Medium thick, slightly creamy and quickly opening, pale greyish-beige head, clear dark chestnut brown robe with ruddy-coppery glow. Aroma of toasted chestnut, brown bread crust, old raisins, walnut, clove, bayleaf, dry caramel. Clean onset, very streamlined, sweetish and clean with more malt than ester fruitiness, softish in carbonation; slick, slender caramelly malt core, side note of dried red fruit or raisin, biscuity in is core. Ends with toasty bittering accents and some leafy hops as well as mild herbal touches (clove, bayleaf), all bittering in a gentle way, while this sleek caramelly sweetishness remains. Straightforward, light-bodied and uncomplicated, but very clean, focused and balanced English style brown porter not hindered by any obvious ‘Belgianness’ – something I did not think Stokhove was capable of, to be frank. Have a point for that.

Bottle via the brewer - thanks! Hazy amber, stable, tan head. Aroma of biscuit, peanut, red apple, old caramel candy, green tea, pear, yeast. Taste has sweetish apple & pear, sourish berry over a caramelly, biscuity, slightly nutty malt base with a herbal note. Softly herbal hoppy finish, bready, gentle dried fruit. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Decent enough.

10 April 2022. At 14de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke & Pieter!
Hazy black, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of liquorice, date, caramel, clove, chocolate. Taste has sweet prune & raisin, spicy liquorice, soft toasty maltiness. Herbal hoppy finish, quite spicy with dried fruits. Medium body, slick-watery texture, average carbonation. The 'Belgian love' as they mention it is way too apparent here in its estery and phenolic character, undermining the Porter profile. For me it's back to the drawing board with this one.
