BrewByCode BlackHat
BlackHat is a sessionable American Porter that leads with a sophisticated dark malt profile. The sensory experience is defined by a moderate roasted intensity, showcasing layers of dark chocolate and hints of lightly burnt coffee. A backdrop of caramel sweetness provides balance against a firm hop bitterness typical of the style. Expect an earthy and resinous hop character that complements the roasty foundation of Black Malt and Chocolate Malt. Though lighter in alcohol, it retains a medium body and a clean fermentation profile, finishing dry with a lingering roasted malt note. It is an approachable yet characterful dark ale with a classic profile.
Appearance. Very dark brown, approaching black (38 SRM) with deep ruby highlights when held to the light. Features a dense, creamy tan head with moderately good retention and light lacing. Generally clear, though its depth makes it appear nearly opaque.
Aroma. Moderate intensity of roasted malt with clear notes of dark chocolate and espresso. A light resinous and earthy hop character sits in the background. Subtle caramel sweetness and very low fruity esters are present, supported by a clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and roasted grain. Medium-high bitterness provides a firm balance to the malty richness. Flavors of toasted bread and light coffee persist through the mid-palate. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering but smooth roasted character that avoids being acrid or harsh.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, moderately creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a light tingle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is negligible given the lower ABV, and there is only a very slight, pleasant grain-derived astringency.
