Herslev Porter

◎ Aussehen

This organic porter presents a deep, opaque black body crowned with a substantial head the colour of roasted hazelnut. The foam maintains excellent retention and clings to the glass with distinctive lacing. The carbonation is moderate, contributing to a dense, full-bodied visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with rich dark caramel sweetness complemented by notes of roasted grain and subtle cocoa. Beneath lies a layered fruitiness—dried stone fruit and a gentle fermentation character—balanced by restrained herbal bitterness from the organic Edelhopfen. The overall profile is warm and inviting without sharp edges.

◐ Geschmack

On the palate, caramel sweetness dominates the entry and mid-palate, underpinned by substantial malty body and nuttiness from the organic barley and wheat. A moderate fruity bitterness develops gradually, with traces of dark chocolate and coffee adding depth without dominating. The finish remains smooth and rounded, the bitterness resolving cleanly.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is moderately long, lingering with residual caramel and a gentle bitter edge that gradually fades. The finish feels balanced and satisfying, neither overly sweet nor aggressively dry.
