NITRO HOKUM

Tap to rate

Nitro Hokum is a nitro-served porter from DEYA Brewing Company, based in Cheltenham in the heart of the English Cotswolds. Poured on nitrogen, it settles into a deep, near-opaque mahogany-black with a smooth, creamy tan head that clings persistently to the glass. The aroma is gently inviting — roasted barley, dark chocolate, and a whisper of espresso, softened by the nitro dispense into something almost velvety. On the palate, the mouthfeel is silky and full, with restrained bitterness and layered notes of cocoa, mild coffee, and a subtle caramel sweetness. The finish is clean and quietly roasty, fading with satisfying smoothness. A sessionable, approachable porter that showcases the Cheltenham brewery's careful, considered craft.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for NITRO HOKUM

◎ Appearance

Poured on nitrogen, Nitro Hokum settles into a deep, near-opaque mahogany-black that catches light only at the edges. The head is smooth, creamy, and tan-colored, clinging persistently to the glass with fine lacing on each sip. The nitro dispense creates a distinctly soft, pillowy foam structure characteristic of nitrogen carbonation.

◌ Aroma

The nose is gently inviting and layered without aggression. Roasted barley and dark chocolate form the foundation, with a whisper of espresso threading through. The nitrogen dispense softens these roasted notes into an almost velvety character, free from harsh or ashy edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with silky, full mouthfeel that coats without heaviness. Cocoa and mild coffee notes develop in the mid-palate, underpinned by subtle caramel sweetness that balances the restrained bitterness. The interaction of roasted malt with nitrogen's creaming effect creates a remarkably smooth drinking experience.
