Brett Porter (ABV 5.5%) from Brasserie De La Senne is inspired by the ancient London Porters, superstar beers of the 1800s preserved in giant wooden barrels in which Brettanomyces yeasts would develop. However, this Porter is not barrel-aged, but rather co-fermented with De La Senne's house Brettanomyces, and brewed with magnificent special English malts. 11.2 oz capped bottle.

“Pour is excellent (as expected), with the classic de la Senne high carbonation and great head in effect. De la Senne’s carbonation across all styles really is a real calling card, and a thing to behold. Lacing is great. Black pour that has some tremendous red highlights in the right light. I’m always looking for a cheesy note on the nose in a Brett based Porter, and this one delivers. This is drier in the back-end than some in the style, and even considering the Brett element it goes quite a bit further than I would expect. Don’t get me wrong, the tastes here are almost perfect, with some blue cheese mingling with the light, roasted bitterness and creamy mouthfeel, but the dry ending definitely there and noticeable, and it gets a touch powdery in the final mouthfeel. Outside of that one complaint, this is very true to style. Plenty of cheese all over the place, and a light acidic note permeates the whole beer as one would expect. Delicious and well within the style boundaries. Nothing but pretty much exactly what the label says here, despite the drier finish, so I’m happy – you should be too.” Review posted on Ding’s Beer Blog 11/3/2024

La Brasserie De La Senne or De Zennebrouwerij is named for the river Zenne which flows through Brussels, where the brewery is located. Founded by Bernard Leboucq and Yvan De Baets, the brewery has a reputation for brewing fine ales and "frustratingly rare blends" that often include lambic from the nearby Cantillon Brewery.

Leboucq and De Baets do everything themselves, using traditional methods. The beers are neither filtered nor pasteurized, and no additives are used. Their philosophy is to brew beers that are characterful, but not necessarily strong. With an annual production of 1,800 hectoliters, the demand for the beers currently exceeds production capacity.
