Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee Porter

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to nearly opaque black in color, characteristic of a well-crafted porter. Minimal head retention with thin tan foam, typical for this richly adjuncted style. The darkness obscures any clarity, presenting an inviting, viscous appearance.

◌ Aroma

Assertive coffee aromatics lead the charge, complemented by smoky bacon undertones and subtle applewood smoke. Sweet maple syrup and roasted malt provide a complex backbone, while hints of dark chocolate add depth. The interplay of breakfast components creates an immediately distinctive and approachable nose.

◐ Geschmack

Rich and full-bodied entry with prominent coffee and roasted grain character dominating the palate. Mid-palate reveals savory bacon smokiness balanced against maple sweetness, while dark chocolate notes provide additional complexity. The 30 IBUs provide restrained bitterness that prevents the adjuncts from becoming cloying, maintaining excellent drinkability.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length finish with lingering roasted and smoky notes, the bacon char and maple gradually fading into subtle dark chocolate aftertaste. The finish remains clean despite the adjunct complexity, without any harsh or astringent qualities.
