Got this at the Duvel guy in Utrecht
From a bottle into a snifter
Aged 517 days in Glen Tauchers barrels
APPEARANCE: Clear dark brown porter yields a two finger, slightly thicker looking, creamy, light tan head with excellent retention. Clear black body with medium carbonation evident. Head slowly recedes to a thick, creamy cap and clings to the glass. Half wisp remains leaving good lacing as it empties. This is a good looking strong porter.
SMELL: Oak, whisky aromas, leather, light peat aromas, as well as some green fruit aromas on the nose. Hints of white wine.
TASTE: White wine, green grapes again, some leather, with hints of oak and some alcohol at the swallow. Decent finish of white wine and green fruit, peated flavors, leather, hints of milk chocolate and some wood linger on the palate.
PALATE: Medium body and slightly lower levels of carbonation. A little silky on the palate, goes down fine and finishes somewhat mouth-coating. No real heat lingers.
OVERALL: This is not quite what I’d had in mind. I’m usually hit or miss with peated whisky barrels, and this is a clear miss for me. It resembles more of a white wine barrel on top of a peat malt porter than a porter on peated scotch barrels. The base beer itself is well engineered, which makes the barrel treatment even more of a shame. Van der Streek usually does well in my books but they can’t all be winners.
