Florestina Torrada
Porter 5.4 º
Florestina Torrada presents a refined expression of the British Brown Ale, emphasizing deep, kilned malt characteristics. The sensory experience is led by a prominent toasted profile, evocative of freshly baked bread crusts and roasted hazelnuts. Interwoven with these savory notes are layers of rich toffee and a whisper of milk chocolate, providing a balanced sweetness that never cloys. A restrained presence of earthy, English-style hops offers a subtle counterpoint to the malt, while a clean fermentation profile allows the complex grain bill to remain the centerpiece. It finishes with a satisfying, dry-ish toasted quality that encourages another sip.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark reddish-brown with excellent clarity. It supports a moderate, persistent off-white to light tan head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring sweet malt aromas of toffee and toasted nuts. Subtle hints of cocoa and light caramel are present, complemented by a low, earthy hop note and very faint fruity esters reminiscent of dried plum.
Taste. Initial impressions of toasted biscuit and nutty malt sweetness. Medium-low bitterness provides balance without overwhelming the caramel and toffee flavors. The mid-palate reveals light chocolate notes, leading into a clean, medium-dry finish with a lingering toasted grain aftertaste. No harsh roasted or burnt flavors are present.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high, providing a gentle prickle on the tongue. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength.
