JorisPPattyn (6730) - Antwerpen, - MAR 7, 2011
UPDATED: MAR 11, 2011 Draught Red-brown beer with medium yellow-cream head and fine shards of lace. Port, sweet chocolate & wood. Strangely, not a real sweet or portlike smell. Dull sweet-vinous flavour, with again mild chocolate in the finish. Chestnut flavour too, and indeed, mild portwine - white one? Quite slick, well-bodied, alcoholic palate. It’s an easy mix, but not bad.

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2012 28/IV/2012 - on tap @ ZBF 2012 (Leuven) - BB: n/a (2012-432)

Clear purple reddish beer, small off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of sweet malts, dried fruits, raisins, some milk chocolate. MF: soft to no carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very sweet, lots of ripe banana, some raisins, caramel. Aftertaste: more ripe banana, sweet caramel, sugary. A bit too sweet, didn’t get any of the port.

Oak, sweet and sour aroma. No head. Rather smokey and sweet. Somewhat odd.

sebletitje (4394) - Enghien, BELGIUM - APR 29, 2012
Draft @ ZBF’12. Brune opaque allant sur l’ambrée, col léger beige. Arôme est malté avec un léger côté de vin chaud de porto et cerise. En bouche, malté assez caramel, pointe sucrée et un porto qui est plus en ajout à la bière que un vieillissement en fût. Houblon reste présent un peu herbacé et une pointe citronné. Le porto joue bien son rôle apportant ce qu’il faut de vin.

Bontus (512) - Waasmunster, BELGIUM - MAR 6, 2011
On tap @ ZBF 2011. Dark vinous brown body, port nose, but also candy esters, nuts & wood. Very full body, and enough diacetyl under it. Quite sweet and warming but overall a succeeded experiment.
