Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is roasted malt, cocoa, dark chocolate, coffee, caramel, touch of dark berries with hints of peat. Flavour is sweet with a very decent roasty bitterness. Body is medium to full. Tasty and fairly rich Porter with lots of chocolate.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is orange peel, malt, caramel, bit candied, hint of hops. Medium sweet flavour with a moderate bitterness. Body is medium with a slightly sticky mouthfeel. Heavy on the orange peel and sweet caramalt, not bad.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is creamy malt with caramel, spicy and herbal notes, berries, and a touch of honey. Metallic aspect as well. Flavour is honey sweetness and light bitterness. Body is medium and slightly creamy. Not really to my liking due to the honey and metallic notes.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is roasted malt with dark chocolate, liquorice, soft whiskey, notes of coffee, a touch of dried dark fruits, and some wood from the whiskey. Flavour is sweet with a nice roasy bitterness in the finish. Body is almost full. Sweet and pretty smooth, pleasant level of infused whiskey, leaves plenty of room for the base Porter to shine.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is strong coconut and bounty chocolate bar, cookies, tiramisu, more coconut, dark malt, caramel, fudge, toffee, sugar, marzipan, some alcohol. Flavour is quite sweet and sugary with a decent roasty bitterness. Body is above medium. Pretty candied and artificial but I like this dumb beer, heavy on the milk chocolate and coconut, I have a fondness for this.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is strong candied peach with cheesecake indeed, light malt, more sugary canned fruits. Pretty sweet flavour but there's bitterness as well. Body is medium. Decent drink but for me a bit too sweet and artificial.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Citric aroma with plenty of lemon, hop, soft wheaty pale malt, grassy notes. Flavour is moderate bitter with absolutely no sweetness to be found. Nicely dry, almost medium body. Refreshing, crisp, citrus.

Can from Bierwinkel Hop, Amersfoort. Softly but pleasantly peated aroma, barrel notes, roasted malt, caramel. Moderate to medium sweet, mild bitter. Above medium body. Good one, nicely peated Stout. Could be bigger, but oh well.
