Porter 7 º

Godog

Godog’s Blue Velvet presents as a deep, evocative American Porter that leans into the darker, more intense side of the style. At 7% ABV, it offers a robust sensory journey through layers of heavily roasted malts, delivering prominent notes of dark chocolate and espresso. The darker, more mysterious character suggested by the brewer translates to a firm roasted profile balanced by a resinous hop presence typical of the American craft tradition. It is a complex, midnight-hued ale that balances its malt richness with a clean bitterness, making it a sophisticated compendium of dark malt flavors and subtle alcohol warmth.

Appearance. Very dark brown, nearly opaque black with deep garnet highlights when held to light. Topped with a dense, persistent tan head that leaves significant lacing.

Aroma. Moderately high intensity featuring strong roasted grain notes of unsweetened cocoa and dark-roast coffee. Background hints of toasted caramel and toffee provide a slight sweetness. Low earthy and resinous hop character blends with subtle dark fruit esters.

Taste. The initial impression is of rich roasted malt, evolving into bittersweet chocolate and lightly burnt toast. Bitterness is firm and assertive, supported by resinous hop flavors. The finish is moderately dry with a lingering espresso-like roastiness and a clean fermentation profile without an acidic bite.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, commensurate with its 7% strength. Minimal malt astringency.
