This collaborative Smoked Porter offers a decadent sensory experience, merging the robust architecture of a dark ale with the clean fermentation profile of a lager yeast. A warm, complex wood smoke aroma greets the nose, layered with rich milk chocolate and hints of espresso. The palate is dominated by a deep dark malt sweetness, intricately balanced by the spicy notes of Mittelfruh hops and the bright citrus of Galena. Dark cocoa and ripe berries emerge mid-palate, finishing with a structured bitterness reminiscent of burnt sugar. Its thick, treacle-like texture remains impeccably balanced, avoiding cloying sweetness through its refined roast character.
