Pig Iron Porter

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black in the glass, with excellent clarity and a fine dark mahogany rim. A dense, tan head forms readily and clings to the glass with good persistence. The body is compact and well-carbonated, maintaining visible effervescence throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced roasted malt and cocoa powder, followed by subtle coffee grounds and a whisper of dark fruit undertones. No harsh char or burnt grain; the roasted character is clean and refined. A touch of noble hop earthiness balances the sweet malted backbone without dominating.

◐ Taste

Smooth entry with chocolate and roasted grain flavors building immediately on the mid-palate. Coffee notes arrive mid-sip, adding depth without astringency. The 35 IBU provide gentle restraint—sufficient to frame the malt sweetness without aggression—and the body remains medium, approachable, and never heavy.

◑ Finish

Clean, moderately dry finish with lingering cocoa and a faint coffee aftertaste. The beer fades gracefully without residual sweetness or harshness.

Serve at 10–13°C. Too cold mutes the roasted complexity that makes a good porter worth drinking slowly.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
