Sacromonte Porter

Tap to rate

Creamy and roasty, with a toasted note, this porter from Sacromonte 1598 is one of two in the range, next to the Baltic porter Moremía. The craft brewery sits on the outskirts of Granada in Andalusia and shares its name with the Sacromonte quarter, known for its cave homes, though it brews outside the quarter itself.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced roasted grain notes, followed by layers of toasted malt and a subtle cocoa undertone. Coffee and dark chocolate aromas emerge in the mid-palate, underpinned by a gentle, earthy hop character from the 33 IBUs. No sharp acidity; instead, a warm, inviting maltiness dominates.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with rich, roasted flavors that build into toasted and chocolatey notes, balanced by smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Mid-palate reveals hints of dark fruit and coffee with a restrained bitterness that complements rather than dominates. The finish is clean and dry, with residual roast character persisting without harshness.
