Sunday Brunch

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.

◎ Appearance

Deep jet black with minimal light transmission, presenting a dense and opaque body characteristic of the style. A rich tan head forms with excellent retention, leaving persistent lacing down the glass. The carbonation appears restrained, appropriate for the imperial format.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted coffee and dark cacao, backed by substantial Rook Coffee character. Maple and cinnamon spice rise through the mid-range, layered with subtle dark chocolate and toasted grain notes. The adjunct profile is balanced and aromatic, without overshadowing the malt foundation.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers rich roasted malt and coffee at entry, with cacao and caramel developing across the mid-palate. Cinnamon and maple sweetness weave through without cloying, supported by a velvety mouthfeel. Bitterness remains subdued at 33 IBU, allowing the adjunct complexity to dominate while maintaining structural balance.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and warming, with lingering chocolate and coffee notes persisting into the aftertaste. A subtle spice warmth from cinnamon and the 9.2% ABV remains present without heat or harshness.
