De Caelo Sladek Porter
This English Porter showcases a bold, hop-forward interpretation of the classic style. The sensory profile is defined by a significant interplay between dark malts and a generous addition of Chinook and Sladek hops. Aromas of resinous pine and grapefruit from the Chinook meet the delicate herbal spice of Sladek, layered over a base of chocolate and toasted biscuit. On the palate, the initial sweetness of caramel and milk chocolate is quickly countered by a firm, lingering bitterness. The mouthfeel remains smooth and medium-bodied, finishing with a crisp, resinous snap that highlights the brewer's adventurous hop usage while maintaining the soul of a British brown ale.
Appearance. Deep brown to dark mahogany in color with attractive ruby highlights when held to light. Crowned by a persistent, creamy, light tan head with moderate lacing. Generally clear, though the depth of color offers an opaque appearance.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Pronounced piney and resinous hop character from Chinook is balanced by the spicy and floral notes of Sladek. Supporting these are rich scents of milk chocolate, toasted bread, and a hint of nutty caramel. Low fruity esters reminiscent of dried plum.
Taste. Initial impressions of bready and toasty malt with a distinct chocolate roastiness. A significant hop presence follows, delivering flavors of grapefruit peel and herbal spice. The bitterness is firm and slightly elevated for the style, driving a fairly dry finish. Aftertaste lingers with a blend of bitter cocoa and resinous hop oils.
Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, lightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to balance the hop bitterness. Very low alcohol warmth, ensuring a drinkable and well-integrated experience.
