Apr 11, 2008 Appearance: dark mahogany color. Great head with beige color, lasting and rocky.
Aroma: intensive and nice vintage wine and berries smells. Spicy tones similar to ginger, clove and cinnamon. Other aromatic reminiscences like figs, dark raisins, caramel and toast bread.
Flavor: caramel malts start and progress similar to clove and ginger. Fruitiness like berries, raisins and figs. Vintage wine and cherry liquor reminiscences. Light final dry with light citric touch.

Balanced, nice and some complex beer. Beautiful bottle.

Apr 8, 2008 750mL Ceramic swingtop bottle. Listed as Hoogstraten Poorter. Pours with a hazy brown body. Aroma of dried fruits, honey, tangerine, and chocolate malts. Full retention and lacing on the head. Doesn’t taste anything like the porter it claims to be. For sure a belgian, if not a belgian streong. Fruity sweet taste. Bit too fizzy carbonation ontop of a watery body. Overall quite good.

Apr 4, 2008 Ceramic-looking 750mL swingtop. Pours clear dark amber with a lacy off-white head. Mostly brown sugar in the nose. Medium body and carbonation. Brown sugar and nutty taste. A little sour on the finish.

Mar 31, 2008 750, capped ceramic swingtop growler. Thanks, BitBucket! Pretty goofy label. Crystal clear rubied medium amber. Thickish, sudsy tan head. Sweet candi and bubble gum and chocolate nose. Thin, watery body, fairly flat. Chocolatey and sugary. Mild, brief sugary finish. Definitely nothing like what you’d expect after ordering a porter, but still not all that great a beer even after the surprise wears off.

Mar 28, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Poetzsh, Flensburg.
Pour is dark brown amber with a pretty, frothy off-white head. Aroma is nice and fruity, lots of berries, some apple, light tartness and a good dose of caramel behind it. Fresh and lively mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly tart, some raisins, a little chocolate, biscuits and oranges. Semi-dry.

Mar 16, 2008 Im not sure what to make of this....Poured a nice semi-rocky light tan head with good retention that laces the glass (Drinking one now)....Aroma is different from other porters I have tried, it seems the fruity notes over power the dark roast.....Flavor is chocolate roast and Dark roast with slight fruity and bittering properties with caramal notes.....mouth feel is good, medium carbonation with somewhat medium to full body.....I like the ceramic bottle it came in the most!
