Porter 6.6 º

La Calavera

This Coffee Porter presents an alluring invitation with an immediate, deep-roasted coffee presence that harmonizes with a robust malt backbone. Expect a complex sensory profile where rich notes of dark chocolate and toasted grains from the base Porter provide a sturdy foundation for the vibrant, aromatic coffee infusion. The sensory experience is defined by the interplay between roasted bean bitterness and the sweetness of caramelized malts. Subtle earthy undertones suggest a modest hop addition, ensuring the coffee remains the focal point without overwhelming the palate. It finishes with a satisfyingly dry, roasted linger and a smooth, medium-full texture.

Appearance. Deep brown to near black (SRM 35-40); opaque with a dense, creamy tan head that demonstrates good retention and leaves persistent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh-roasted coffee beans dominates. Behind the coffee, moderate notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, and lightly burnt grain emerge. Hop aroma is very low to absent. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a bold burst of espresso and roasted coffee. The malt flavor follows with rich bittersweet chocolate, crusty dark bread, and a hint of molasses. Hop bitterness is moderate, providing balance against the malt sweetness and coffee acidity. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering coffee bean aftertaste and a clean, roasty quality.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, reflecting its 6.6% ABV. No significant astringency from the coffee or roasted grains.
