3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at OBER Kerstbierfestival 2012. Dark brown color, small beige to light brown head that lasts for a decent while. Not that much aroma or taste, would have expected more porto to clearly manifest itself. Not enough barrel ageing imo, but it still is a nice beer. Weird, in some ways average beer but somehow I still quite like it.

Bottle sample @ 18de Kerstbierfestival, Essen 2012.
Brune foncée, col beige moyen.
Arôme est assez faible, considérant que l’ajout du Porto est un des principales atouts de cette bière. Pointe de fruité rouge discret, le reste tirant vers un bouquet belge typique. Léger chocolat, malt cara.
Palais reste malté moyen, gardant un Porto très discret et qui tend à donner une fine pointe de douceur en fin de bouche entre fruits noirs et rouges, le tout garde une touche sucrée de canne à sucre. Effervescence moyenne.
Pas mauvaise, l’avantage est que le Porto ne vient pas dominer le tout mais reste ici un peu trop en retrait à mon goût.
