La Cabra del Maresme Perla Negra
Robust Porter 5.6 º
Perla Negra is a nuanced English Porter that presents a more substantial profile than traditional examples while maintaining classic British drinkability. The sensory journey begins with an inviting bouquet of toasted grains and gentle cocoa. On the palate, the interplay of roasted malts delivers refined layers of chocolate and subtle coffee, avoiding any harsh burnt or acrid notes. The medium-full body provides a notably silky, luxurious mouthfeel that distinguishes this expression. While hops provide a necessary structural bitterness to balance the initial malt sweetness, they remain discreetly earthy, ensuring the focus remains on the rich, bready, and toasty malt core.
Appearance. Deep dark brown to nearly black in color (30 SRM) with enticing ruby highlights when held to light. Topped by a compact, tan-colored head with fine bubbles and excellent retention.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring bready and toasty malt character. Notable aromas of milk chocolate and light roasted coffee are present, supported by low earthy hop notes and a faint hint of dark fruit esters.
Taste. The initial impression is malty and smooth, followed by moderate chocolate roastiness and subtle coffee notes. A caramel and toffee sweetness persists through the mid-palate, balanced by a medium-low bitterness that prevents cloying. The finish is clean and fairly dry with a lingering toasted grain aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a distinctively silky and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate and fine-bubbled, providing a smooth delivery. A very light alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
