Beavertown Burnt
Porter 4.5 º
Beavertown Burnt reimagines the classic English Porter with a distinctive craft intensity. This sessionable dark ale delivers a complex malt foundation of toasted biscuit, milk chocolate, and soft caramel. Despite its name, the roast character remains smooth and integrated, providing a dark cocoa depth without harshness. The hoppy designation manifests as a pronounced earthy and floral hop presence that brightens the mid-palate, characteristic of modern British interpretations. A clean fermentation profile allows the interplay between dark malts and vibrant hop bitterness to shine, resulting in a balanced, highly drinkable porter with a crisp, dry finish and lingering toasty notes.
Appearance. Deep brown with shimmering ruby highlights when held to the light. It presents with good clarity and is crowned by a moderate, creamy, light tan head that shows fair retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a prominent bready and toasty malt backbone. Aromas of dark chocolate and nutty toffee are complemented by a moderate level of earthy and slightly floral hop notes. Low fruity esters of dried plum are perceptible in the background.
Taste. Initial flavors of toasted crust and biscuity malt transition into layers of milk chocolate and sweet caramel. The roast character is present but restrained, offering a smooth cocoa quality rather than acridity. Moderate earthy hop flavor provides balance. Bitterness is medium, leading to a balanced-dry finish with a lingering toasty aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle prickle that keeps the darker malt flavors from becoming heavy. Minimal alcohol warmth.
