Galway Hooker Brewery Black Tide
Porter 4.2 º
This sessionable English Porter presents a deep mahogany hue with a complex interplay of dark fruit and toasted grains. Brewed with Irish blackcurrants from Co. Wexford, the sensory profile opens with a distinct tart berry brightness that transitions into smooth layers of chocolate and subtle vanilla. The fruit provides a unique finish to the traditional English Porter base of bready and biscuity malts. Expect a moderate intensity where the earthy berry skin notes complement the restrained roasted bitterness, resulting in a balanced, drinkable dark ale that highlights local terroir alongside classic British brewing traditions.
Appearance. Dark brown with deep ruby highlights; clear but appears nearly opaque in the glass. Crowned with a moderate, light tan head showing good retention and fine lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring bready and biscuity malt notes intertwined with milk chocolate. Distinctive blackcurrant fruitiness provides a tart, jammy overlay, supported by a hint of vanilla sweetness and low earthy hops.
Taste. Initial impression of toasted bread and caramel followed by a mild chocolate roastiness. The mid-palate is dominated by the unique inclusion of Irish blackcurrants, providing a dark fruit acidity that cuts through the malt. Low earthy hop flavor and medium-low bitterness lead to a fairly dry finish with lingering notes of dark chocolate and berry skin.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderately-high carbonation. Displays a light creamy texture and a smooth, clean finish without any harsh roasted astringency or alcohol warmth.
