Porter 6.9 º

Edge Brewing

Edge Brewing Fireside offers an indulgent sensory experience tailored for the season. This English Porter leads with a rich, inviting bouquet of toasted hazelnut and milk chocolate, suggesting the generous use of Chocolate malt. At 6.9% ABV, it presents a sturdier profile than traditional examples, delivering deep layers of toffee and biscuity depth. The hazelnut integration provides a praline-like sweetness that complements the soft, earthy hop notes. It pours a deep mahogany with brilliant ruby highlights, finishing with a smooth, comforting warmth and a lingering nuttiness that reinforces its character as a sophisticated Winter Porter.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown with brilliant ruby highlights. Forms a moderate, creamy light tan head with fair to good retention and light lacing; clarity is good though the beer appears nearly opaque in the glass (25-30 SRM).

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent toasted hazelnut and sweet milk chocolate. Beneath the adjunct notes lies a complex malt base of bready biscuit, caramel, and light toffee. Low earthy hop aroma with subtle fruity esters; no harsh acrid or burnt scents are present.

Taste. Initial impression of sweet toasted nuts and cocoa. The palate follows with bready and toasty malt flavors, enriched by caramel and a significant hazelnut presence. Medium-low bitterness provides a balanced-sweet profile, lacking any sharp roasted or burnt edges. Low earthy hop flavor leads into a medium-dry finish with a lingering chocolate-nut aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its higher gravity, providing a cozy, winter-appropriate weight without being heavy.
