Porter 8.6 º 48 IBU

Hornbeer

This American Porter is a robust winter companion, pouring deep mahogany with a resilient tan head. The sensory profile is defined by a dense foundation of roasted malts, delivering rich notes of dark chocolate and espresso. The addition of honey introduces a distinctive floral sweetness that rounds out the moderately firm bitterness, creating a more complex, layered finish than a standard porter. At 8.6% ABV, a gentle, integrated warmth permeates the medium-full body. Earthy and floral hop character provides a balanced counterpoint to the malty richness, while subtle fruity esters add depth to this warming, seasonal ale.

Appearance. Very dark brown to near black with brilliant garnet highlights. Features a thick, creamy tan head with excellent retention and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity roast with dominant notes of dark chocolate and toasted coffee. A distinct floral honey sweetness is present, alongside moderate earthy and herbal hop aromas and light dark fruit esters.

Taste. Moderately strong roasted flavors of cocoa and espresso, supported by a smooth, honey-derived sweetness. Medium-high bitterness provides balance. The finish is medium-sweet and lingering, with notes of dark malt and a clean, resinous hop character without acridity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation and a noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Very low malt astringency.
