Pours deep dark orange with lasting white head. Aroma is vegetal, wet, grassy hops with a touch of lemon and funk. Taste is grassy, vegetal, old resinous hops with a touch of funk and a sweet ending. Feels like this brew is too old, probably was great fresh, but really doesn’t last with age.

Pour is a dull orange with a large foamy white head. Aroma is lots of sweet fruit with a nice funk to it. Flavor is lots of fresh citrus with some vanilla, caramel and again some funk. After the funk you get sme oily hops left on the tounge. This is a pretty tasty beer snd something to sip on for awhile. Now im going to have funk burps all night!

Brewmaster’s Collaboration
9/05/2007: Port Brewing Company / De ’Proef’-BrouwerijSignature Ale has a hazy golden color. The aroma is a bit spicy with some orange in it. The flavor is lightly malty with some citrus and yeast. There also seems to be a touch of almond flavor. The flavor isn’t bitter or bitey and no alcohol is noticeable in it either. The body of this beer is medium with an average palate. Overall this beer is nicely blended, well-balanced, and mild-mannered. Quite tasty!
750 mL corked and caged bottle (8.5% Alc. by Vol.) shared by Tmoney99 at the Dilly Deli. Thanks Tom! I really appreciate it. Rating #26 for this beer...
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Delicious and easy to drink Belgian strong. Too often this style goes overboard on the sweetness but this was perfectly balanced. Aroma was yeasty, light and fruity. Pour was a perfect medium gold with a huge 3 finger pillowy white head. Taste was delicious. Strong biting carbonation with full apricot, apple and peach (tastes like carbonated fruit cocktail juice). Aftertaste is slightly bitter and dry. Very nice.
