Silent Knight

◎ Appearance

Silent Knight pours a deep brown with nearly opaque darkness, characteristic of its 28 SRM. The dense head settles to a thin collar with restrained lacing that clings lightly to the glass. Carbonation is moderate and measured, befitting a session-strength porter.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced chocolate and roasted malt, layered with coffee and subtle caramel sweetness. The nine-malt blend creates a complex backbone without any sharp or harsh roasted edges. Secondary notes of dark grain and mild cocoa powder round out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with chocolate and roasted grain anchoring the palate. Mid-palate reveals caramel and cocoa that suggest dessert-like richness, yet the body remains light and the malt backbone stays restrained. Finish transitions to a clean, dry conclusion without lingering sweetness or bitterness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is brief and dry, with roasted and cocoa notes fading quickly. No stickiness or cloying residue remains, allowing the session-strength character to shine through.
