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.

Zythos Bierfestival 2012, Leuven, Belgium. Pours murky mahogany with copper edges and full tan head of foam. The aroma is straight up coffee like Folgers coffee and something a little richer. The taste is pretty nice with fairly rich coffee notes rolling into espresso notes, some nuttiness and a bit of toffee like goodness that enhances the experience. This has several layers of coffee and various malt and toffee nuances that creates a rather yummy like harmony.

Draught@Tuulensuu, Tampere. Murky brown colour with a mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, berries, yeast and mild spices. Flavour is rather similar with some mild alcohol as well. Tonguetickling carbonation.

Handbottled (thanks Kikster!). Enjoyed with Christmas dinner. Very deep brown colour, small beige head. Aroma is spices, sweet malts, some syrup and mild alcohol. Flavour is fruits, alcohol, mild toasted notes along with sweet maltyness. Pleasant!

Bottle. An unclear one, golden in color and with a dense, two-finger off-white head. Lighly spiced and quite pleasantly hopped aroma with pale malts, sugar and some alcohol notes. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated, quite dry. Pale malts, sugar notes, a spiced herbal hoppyness, some bitterness and a little warming touch in the flavor. Lasting dry, bitter finish. Certainly a tripel I could have a few of. 120516

Black colour, tan head. Aroma of coffee and malts, loads of coffee, light hops. Flavour of coffee, light sweetness, quite light and thin, much less than expected from the nose. Finish coffee.
One of the best Broeder Jacob beers I’ve tasted to date.
(Draught @ ZBF ’12)
