Powerhouse Porter

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to nearly black in the glass, with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent tan head that clings to the sides with fine lacing. The color reflects the substantial roasted malt bill, while carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the creamy texture of the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced toasted malt and roasted barley character, followed by layered notes of dark chocolate and hints of winter stone fruit. Subtle noble hop presence rounds out the profile with gentle herbal and earthy undertones, creating an inviting, complex bouquet without aggression.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with rich chocolate and roasted grain, leading into a smooth mid-palate where coffee notes emerge and integrate with subtle dark fruit undertones. Bitterness from Challenger, Boadicea, Goldings and Fuggles hops sits at a restrained 33 IBU, providing balance rather than punch, while the 4.9% ABV keeps the overall character measured and approachable.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering chocolate and toasted malt drying the palate gently. Aftertaste remains coffee-tinged and warming without harshness, inviting another sip.
