This English Porter offers a sophisticated sensory balance, leading with the indulgent character of Chocolate malt and deep Caramel sweetness. The aroma is defined by a bready, biscuity foundation layered with toffee and nuts, subtly accented by a distinct floral quality reminiscent of rose petals that integrates seamlessly with earthy hop notes. On the palate, the roastiness remains gentle and smooth, avoiding burnt edges while delivering rich cocoa and light coffee flavors. At 6% ABV, it provides a slightly more robust body and a soft alcohol warmth that carries moderate fruity esters through to a clean, balanced-sweet finish.
