Oaky nose Rodenbach style. Tart and lighter in body than expected. The roastiness from the porter only manifests itself as a slight hint of tar in the finish. Instead this beer is all about oaky tartness with vinegar and wood.
Finally Haandbryggeriet makes a beer that is not only interesting on the paper, this is by far the best ever from them! oh6gdx (9102), Vasa, Finland

Opaque brown-black color, not much head. Woody, acidic vinegardish aroma. Wineous vinegar flavor. There is some toasted dark malts and wood. Was beer supposed to be acidic or was it born acidic? Do I like this or not? bierkoning (6097), La Tropica, Netherlands
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 20, 2009 Bottle. Deep dark brown color, opague. Hints of oak, aquavit and grapes in the aroma. Full bodied, almost oily texture. tart flavor with alcoholic notes, licorice, grapes and aquavit. Just hints of roast in the aftertaste. Lovely, but is it really only 7% ABV? thewolf (5827), Kolding, Denmark

Pours almost completely black with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has oak, vinousness, light tartness, well roasted and fairly sweet. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour has oak and quite an acidic edge. Roasted, a bit of chocolate. Raisins, oak and viniousness. Okay, but quite a lot of tartness. yngwie (5000), Kristiansand, Norway
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 31, 2009 Bottle at Bar & Cigar, Oslo. It pours a next to black body, with only a gentle reddish tint, and a minimal, tan head. Lovely vinegary start on the aroma, on a solid malty base. Coffee notes, some hints of wood, and alcohol. Quite vinous, some berries also chime in. Balsamic vinegar, roasted malts, some alcohol, a hint of wood and vanilla, and dried fruits in the flavor. Very low on aquavit. Medium to full body, astringently sour, and a lasting finish with the flavors found initially. A wonderful sipper, maybe a bit on the sour side, but lovely. More evident aquavit and porter would be nice I think, but that’s just me. (090313) jbrus (4895), Delft, Netherlands

Opaque colour, light brown head, good lace. Sweet, very lactic (almost vinegar), other porter flavours but overwhelmed by the sourness that becomes harsh in the finish. Like a mix of Porter and Flemish Sour Ale.
