0.33 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', bottled in February 2025. Hazy, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty and slightly fruity aroma of caramel, cocoa and dark fruits. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly roasty and a little fruity taste of caramel, cocoa, toasted nuts, dark fruits, some clove and traces of coconut, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter, slightly yeasty-spicy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant and well-balanced beer, quite rich and saturating.

Towering greige head over brown-tinted, almost black beer. Very roasty, Maillard, roasted nuts, faint meatesters, burnt pistacchio, caramel, toffee. Dry roast, tobacco, ashes with a bitter hopflavour finish. There is a slight acidity, but more from the CO² than from real stoutacidity, I think. Cigar leaf, and more sweetness in the aftertaste, warming up. Medium bodied at best. Creamy texture, txs to the head, but the beer breathes a quite light impression. Well carbonated, all the same. I was expecting more fireworks, but somehow, it advertises authenticity on the porter front.
