Isanbeer Azabache
Porter 5.7 º
Isanbeer Azabache is a jet-black English Porter that presents a robust sensory profile defined by deep roasted malts and a unique Mediterranean twist. The aroma is dominated by strong roasted notes and dark chocolate, complemented by a subtle woody hop presence. On the palate, a moderate bitter coffee character emerges from the roasted grains, while the addition of carob provides a delicate, earthy sweetness in the background. The inclusion of oats contributes to a smooth, rounded texture. This modern interpretation balances traditional toasty malt complexity with a lingering, slightly sweet finish and moderate carbonation, making it an evocative dark ale.
Appearance. Opaque jet black (30+ SRM) with ruby highlights at the edges. Features a thick, creamy, tan to light-brown head with excellent retention and lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by strong roasted malt featuring prominent dark chocolate and bittersweet coffee. A low but distinct woody and earthy hop character is present. The carob adds a subtle, sweet, pod-like earthiness. Low fruity esters; no detectable diacetyl.
Taste. Initial impression of roasted malt and toasted bread. Mid-palate reveals moderate bitter coffee and dark cocoa flavors. The carob provides a unique, light sweetness that rounds out the roast. Hop bitterness is medium-low, balancing the malt without overwhelming it. Finishes relatively dry with a lingering roasted grain and earthy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a noticeably smooth, creamy texture enhanced by the addition of oats. Carbonation is moderate. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
