Bottle at home. Aroma is oak barrel, dark malt, liquorice, roasted almost burnt malt, hoppy notes, ash, bitter dark chocolate. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a roasty and hoppy bitter finish. Nicely dry with a medium body. Mostly oaky rather than whiskey... Very nice roasty oaky dark chocolate liquorice Porter.

From tap at Bierfestival Groningen 2016. Aroma is rye malt, zesty fruits, citrus, orange, very hoppy. Flavour is quite bitter. Body is medium. I’m particularly fond of rye IPA and this is a really nice example of the style. Crisp, fruity and bitter.
