Farruca Negra
Porter 6.2 º
Farruca Negra is a robust American Porter that masterfully balances assertive dark malt complexity with a distinctively firm hop presence. It presents a medium-strong sensory profile of bittersweet chocolate and fresh-ground coffee, underscored by resinous and earthy hop notes characteristic of the style. The palate delivers a bold roasted grain flavor reminiscent of charred toast and dark cocoa, met by a persistent bitterness that ensures a clean, off-dry finish. At 6.2% ABV, the medium-full body carries a subtle, well-integrated warmth and moderate carbonation, harmonizing the intense roasted character without veering into acrid or harsh territory.
Appearance. Very dark brown with deep garnet highlights; nearly opaque. Crowning the pour is a full, tan-colored head with moderately good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Medium-strong roasted malt intensity featuring notes of dark chocolate and light espresso. A background of caramel sweetness supports moderate resinous and earthy hop aromas. Clean fermentation profile with very low fruity esters.
Taste. Initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and roasted grain. The flavor profile is moderately strong with burnt toast and cocoa notes. Medium-high bitterness from American hops provides a firm counterpoint to the malty richness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering earthy hop character and no acidic bite.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is perceptible, accompanied by a very slight, non-astringent roasted malt graininess.
