Cherry Porter

Tap to rate

Dark red and sweet on the nose with a rich aroma, this porter pairs strong notes of Rainier cherry with ample hop notes and subtle roast, and closes balanced with a well-rounded body. Titanic brewed it as a sister to Plum Porter, a 4.9% ABV beer on cask and in bottle that has been on record since at least 2022.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe Rainier cherry—bright and stone-fruited—layered beneath a rich, toasted Malz foundation. Noble hop notes emerge as secondary aromatics, contributing herbal and slightly spicy character without dominating. Subtle roast undertones round out the bouquet without harshness or burnt notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and sweet, with cherry character binding tightly to a dry roasted-grain backbone. Mid-palate develops a well-integrated bitterness—33 IBUs provide structure without aggressive bite—while the cherry and hop notes remain distinct. The body is full-rounded and substantial without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering cherry sweetness gradually giving way to a gentle roast dryness and subtle hop residue. Aftertaste remains pleasant and food-friendly.

Serve at 10–13°C

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