◐ Taste

Entry displays a rich, roasted malt body with smooth licorice sweetness balancing the moderate bitterness. Mid-palate shows layered flavors of coffee and dark chocolate, while the smoke persists without overwhelming. The 33 IBU provides structure without harshness, letting the darker grains and adjuncts speak clearly.

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