Oh Mr Porter

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to dark brown, nearly opaque at the core with a thin rim of transparency when held to light. A dense, tan head forms readily and clings to the glass with visible lacing. Carbonation appears restrained, appropriate for the style.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt dominates the nose, bringing cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and a subtle smoky character without harshness. Underlying earthy notes from the malt base provide depth. No aggressive hop aromatics; the bouquet remains grounded and approachable.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth with roasted malt driving the flavor forward—burnt toast, coffee grounds, and a touch of licorice. Mid-palate balances sweetness with restrained bitterness (33 IBU); the malt's dark character persists without becoming overly dry. The 4.9% ABV keeps the body light enough that the beer drinks cleanly.

◑ Finish

Dry finish with residual roasted notes lingering on the palate. The aftertaste is brief and fades without astringency, leaving a pleasant malt-forward memory.
