Porter

Tap to rate

Porter is a dark top-fermented porter with 6.9% ABV, 20.6% extract, 50 IBU and 153 EBC, brewed from barley and wheat malts with oat flakes and granulated hops. The brewery calls it black, dense, bitter and powerful yet very drinkable thanks to its high attenuation. Bitter chocolate and coffee stand out, and an experienced drinker may find sour cherry and dried fruit. Ten malts and seven hops went into it.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted malt and chocolate, supported by pronounced coffee notes that develop with gentle warming. Underlying dried fruit and hints of sour cherry emerge as secondary layers, while the seven hop varieties contribute restrained herbal and earthy undertones. The overall aromatic profile is balanced between malt-forward richness and subtle hop complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and smooth, with chocolate and coffee dominating the palate. Bitterness of 50 IBU arrives measured and refined, never harsh, allowing the malt complexity to remain central. Mid-palate reveals dark fruit character and a gentle roasted grain foundation, while the ten-malt bill provides layered sweetness tempered by the beer's high attenuation.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and persistent, with lingering coffee and chocolate notes fading gradually into a clean, balanced aftertaste. The 6.9% ABV remains unobtrusive, allowing the malt character to resolve cleanly.

Serve at 10–13°C

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