Diamond Bear Pig Trail Porter

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to nearly black in color, with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent tan head that leaves fine lacing on the glass. Carbonation is moderate, creating a calm, refined visual presentation typical of the porter style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted grain and dark chocolate, backed by a pleasant coffee character that neither dominates nor fades. Noble hops provide subtle support in the background, allowing the malt-driven aromatic profile to take center stage without any harsh burnt notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with rich, smooth malt that coats the mouth without heaviness, followed by pronounced chocolate and coffee flavors in the mid-palate. Bitterness is measured at 36 IBU, balancing the sweetness without drying out the finish; the overall impression is malty and full-bodied without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, with lingering roasted malt and a subtle chocolate fade. The 6% ABV remains unobtrusive, allowing the porter's character to persist gently rather than fade abruptly.
