Salted Caramel Porter

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown with reddish undertones, suggesting the roasted character within. The body shows good clarity despite the dark color, and the head builds with moderate persistence, forming a tan collar that clings to the glass with visible lacing as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with caramel sweetness—butterscotch and toffee notes predominate. Beneath lies a layer of roasted malt and cocoa powder, grounded by subtle dark chocolate and coffee undertones. A faint saltiness emerges on closer inspection, adding savory balance to the predominantly sweet top notes.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with rich caramel and malt sweetness, filling the mouth with a full, smooth body that feels approachable despite the 5.8% ABV. Mid-palate brings roasted grain, cocoa, and coffee character that anchors the sweetness. The sea salt emerges as a counterpoint—not briny, but enough to add complexity and prevent cloying. Bitterness remains restrained at 33 IBU, allowing the caramel-malt foundation to lead.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately short, fading from caramel sweetness into dry malt and a lingering hint of salt. No harsh edges or excessive dryness remain.
