Lightgrinder
Lightgrinder is an American porter from Burial Beer Co., the celebrated Asheville craft brewery known for its moody, evocative beers. It pours a deep mahogany-brown with a persistent tan head and good clarity at the edges. The aroma opens with roasted malt, dark chocolate, and a whisper of cold brew coffee, underscored by subtle earthy hops. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, medium-bodied experience — layers of bittersweet cocoa and lightly charred grain balance with a restrained sweetness that keeps things approachable. The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering roast character and just enough hop bitterness to provide definition. A well-crafted, sessionable porter that reflects the Appalachian craft spirit of its North Carolina home.
