Aqua Vita Porter is a very special brew, this is a powerful porter that has been aged in old Akevitt barrels for several months. We use this technique to blend the 2 flavours and the process has produced a very special beer. We think the flavour of this beer must be very close to how historic porters tasted in the old days when all beers were kept in oak barrels. This is not a beer for the faint hearted, its rather rustic in flavour and aroma. The barrel ageing comes through very well in this beer, the usual acetic flavour from contact with oxygen in the barrel, the spill over of the Akevitt flavours and of course the wood flavours. All this combined with the darker malts makes it unique. And the aroma is so powerful and interesting it just makes you beg for a sip. 6% alc. ABV, 32 IBU, 112 EBC. Serving temp. 10-12C or 50-55F

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9
500 ml capped bottle, Batch 147. Poured in a snifter an unfiltered slight gushing completely opaque and black coloured ale with a one finger tan foamy head that had a short retention and tons of micro bubbles. Soft carbonation. Some lacing. The aroma is roasted malts, an invasion of vinous notes, ripe raisins, plums, raspberries, cherries and a touch of smoke. The flavour is roasted malts, roasted coffee beans, sourish fruits, raspberries, cherries, grapefruits and a touch of spices, licorice. The mouthfeel is, although sourish, smooth. This light to medium bodied ale has a coffeish and pronounced sourish fruity finish. An ale with numerous faces. I enjoyed the roasty / sourish combination.
