330 ml, bottled July 24. Dark brown body, with a creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma of toast, dark bread, cocoa, some liquorice, some smoked wood, slight toffee. Tastes quite similar, with more hoppy notes and a bit more dark chocolate.
Finishes roasty, toasty, wooden, quite a lot of pine needle like hop notes, a bit smokey, slightly sweet, with some dark chocolate.
Nice, although I was expecting something a bit different as this was inspired by the classic Anchor Porter, but I don't get much similarities. Still a really quaffable, old-school Porter, with a robust character and also quite a lot of hop notes.

(Draft at Nüetnigenough, Brussels, 19 Sep 2025) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with frothy white head. Hoppy nose with notes of citrus, herbs, bread and grass. Hoppy, malty taste with bread, citrus, herbs, grain and a fresh, balanced herbal/grassy bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Hoppy, well balanced and harmonious, with a really fresh herbal hop character. Very nice.

Bottle from HOTM. Hazy amber with a large but diminishing off-white head. A hint of banana and some dust. Very bready and yeasty. Quite bitter for a Belgian brew; just a touch of spice in the aftertaste. I didn't particularly enjoy this.
gave a cheers!
