Dark blond with thick soapy head. Aroma is a bit like lemonade (7-up), it’s citric and sweet. Flavour has a fructose,sherbert like taste that is very sweet and acidic. Also has a flavour of aniseed and lime.

Very strange stout. This beer tastes like a mokka coffee with a lot of milk. Sweet and bitter, but also very creamy.

Served as Broeder Jacob Double Port
Hazy brown cola colour, off-white head. Aroma of wood, red fruits, caramel, anise, yeast, light banana. Quite pronounced metallic iron. Rather sweet flavour, sticky dates, caramel, light wood astringency. Light sour notes. Finish caramel, light wood, liquorice and dried red fruits.
Supposedly 5yo porto (tawny) is added to the brew, but it’s influence is mild to say the least.
(From 33cL bottle @ Het Brouwershuis, Baarle-Hertog)

Bottled 330ml (BZ, BB 05/2013)
Clear nice amber color, good white head. Aroma has spices (ginger, oregano?), wet dishcloth, bread and metal. Medium to full bodied. Spices don’t dominate so much the flavor but ginger and oregano are there, sweetish fruity, almost sugary. Typical Belgian tripel yeastyness. Herbs and sweetness don’t work very well together.

Broeder Jacob Double Port 9% 54B
Zythos Bierfestival 2012, Leuven, Belgium. Pours mahogany with dark tan head. The aroma delivers some caramel malts notes and sort of a rock candy sugar odor followed by a bit of sun dried cherries. The taste has some dark roasted malts mixing with caramel and candy sugars. Interesting kind of overly sweet without much to balance it out or add interest.
