Porter 6.4 º 24 IBU

Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery

Heartbreak Breakfast Porter reimagines the English Porter with a silky, brunch-inspired profile. At 6.4% ABV, it pours a deep mahogany with a dense, tan head. The sensory journey is led by the distinctive Earl Grey tea, offering bright bergamot and floral aromatics that slice through a rich base of milk chocolate and toasted biscuit. Lactose and flaked oats provide a luxurious, creamy texture, softening the gentle roast character typical of the style. Subtle earthy undertones meet a refined residual sweetness, resulting in a balanced, medium-full-bodied ale where classic British malt complexity finds a vibrant, citrus-tinged companion in the lingering finish.

Appearance. Dark brown with garnet and ruby highlights (25-30 SRM). Thick, persistent light tan head with fine lacing. Good clarity, though a slight protein haze from the oats may be visible.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring milk chocolate, toffee, and caramel malt notes. Distinctive citrusy bergamot and perfume-like floral notes from the Earl Grey tea. Low earthy hop character and subtle fruity esters reminiscent of dried plum.

Taste. Initial flavors of toasted bread and sweet biscuit transition into smooth milk chocolate and creamy cocoa. The Earl Grey tea provides a mid-palate pop of citrus and very light black tea tannins. Low to moderate bitterness provides balance without being harsh or burnt. Finishes with a lingering, sweet-leaning chocolate and tea-leaf character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a pronounced silky, creamy texture attributed to the addition of lactose and oats. Moderate carbonation. A soft, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
