Death Before Disco

◎ Appearance

Deep black color with minimal light transmission, characteristic of a well-crafted porter. A dense, tan head forms with solid retention and fine lacing that clings to the glass. The body shows a full, opaque profile with gentle carbonation evident in the slow rise of bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dark chocolate and fresh-brewed coffee, followed by roasted malt character that grounds the profile. A subtle fruity undertone emerges—boysenberry jam and dark berry notes—balanced against the roasted grain base. The overall impression is warm and inviting, with no sharp or aggressive top notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with cocoa sweetness and coffee richness, developing into layered roasted grain flavors across the mid-palate. A light to moderate bitterness surfaces on the finish, providing subtle contrast to the dominant chocolate and berry notes. The medium-full body carries these flavors smoothly without heaviness, and the 6% ABV allows the malt and roast complexity to shine.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste settles into a clean, dry roasted note with lingering cocoa and a whisper of coffee. Medium-length finish with no harsh edges or astringency.
