Wiibroe Porter

Tap to rate

Wiibroe Porter was launched in 1930 under the name Imperial Stout, yet it is a bottom-fermented strong porter. Munich and caramel malts together with a specially roasted grain give it a deep copper to near-black colour under a tan head. Caramel and liquorice lead the aroma, and the palate adds roasted chocolate notes to both. A generous hop addition dries out the finish, where the 8.2% strength shows as a noticeable warmth.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with caramel sweetness immediately apparent on the palate. Mid-palate development brings roasted chocolate notes that integrate seamlessly with the initial sweetness, adding depth and slight dryness. A generous hop addition begins to assert itself, creating tension against the malt foundation.
