Very dark, fairly full in body and packed with flavor. Intense, dry tangy character of roasted barley. Rich chocolate color. A world classic porter. Porter was the first commercially brewed beer. It was named for the train porters who were its original servers and consumers. Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery, Yorkshire’s oldest, reintroduced authentic porter to the British beer scene in 1979 after an absence of more than 50 years. Michael Jackson called this beer “One of the world’s five best.”

Clean, light ,aromatic malt and grains are mixed with grassy and floral hops.

A good clean lager flavour with a barely detectable tartness. Lots of grain flavour back up. Main flavours disappear fairly quickly, leaving some faint floral / vegetal flavours.

Tripel Karmeliet is a very refined and complex golden-to-bronze brew with a fantastic creamy head. These characteristics derive not only from the grains used but also from restrained hopping with Styrians and the fruity nature (banana and vanilla) of the house yeast. Very refined and complex. Hints of vanilla mixed with citrus aromas. Tripel Karmeliet has not only the lightness and freshness of wheat, but also the creaminess of oats together with a spicy lemony almost quinine dryness.
