Goffs Brewery

Black Knight presents as a sophisticated English Porter, characterized by a deep, dark ruby hue that hints at its complex malt backbone. The sensory experience is dominated by powerful chocolate malt aromas, which merge seamlessly with a delicate hint of vanilla. On the palate, expect a rich tapestry of biscuity and toasty notes, complemented by layers of caramel and nutty sweetness. A moderate, earthy hop presence provides a gentle counterpoint to the malt, leading into a smooth, slightly sweet finish. This medium-bodied ale offers a creamy texture and light esters, delivering a quintessential British dark beer experience with a refined, dessert-like aromatic edge.

Appearance. Very dark brown with deep ruby red tints (SRM 25-30); opaque but clear when held to light; moderate, light tan head with fair retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of chocolate malt and cocoa; secondary notes of toffee, toasted bread, and a distinct hint of vanilla; low earthy hop character and subtle fruity esters like dried plum.

Taste. Rich initial impression of milk chocolate and toasted biscuits; mid-palate reveals caramel and nutty sweetness; mild hop bitterness (approx. 25 IBU) provides a balanced counterpoint without harshness; finishes smooth and slightly sweet with lingering chocolate and a touch of dark fruit.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a moderate, creamy texture; moderate carbonation provides a gentle prickle; light, well-integrated alcohol warmth; smooth finish with no detectable astringency.
