Brand Porter hails from Wijlre in South Limburg, where brewing has taken place since 1340. This Dutch porter presents as a well-crafted dark-brown ale with a full, creamy head.

The nose reveals warm notes of vanilla, caramel and roasted chocolate. On the palate, chocolate tones give way to a coffee-like bitterness. As the beer warms, subtle red fruit character emerges, providing pleasant contrast to the integrated hop bitterness.

At 6% ABV with a medium body, this is an approachable porter with fine carbonation and a dry finish.
