Malt Capone is a decadent interpretation of an English Porter, enriched with the warmth of American bourbon and the aromatic softness of vanilla beans. It presents a deep sensory journey starting with an inviting, creamy tan head. The profile is defined by a robust malt backbone featuring rich chocolate and toasted bread, layered with smooth oaky notes and sweet spice. While it maintains the classic earthy undertones of a traditional porter, the infusion of vanilla rounds out the roasted bitterness, leading to a complex, full-bodied experience that lingers with a gentle warmth and a hint of dark toffee and cocoa.
Appearance.Deep brown with prominent ruby highlights. It features a moderate, creamy, light tan head with good retention and delicate lacing. Clarity is good, though the beer appears nearly opaque in the glass.
Aroma.Moderately high intensity with a bready, toasty malt base and notes of chocolate. Distinctive sweet vanilla and subtle bourbon-soaked oak dominate, complemented by faint earthy hop character and low dark fruit esters.
Taste.Moderate bready and toasty malt flavor with a mild chocolate roastiness. Significant caramel and nutty tones are layered with smooth vanilla and a hint of bourbon-derived wood. Bitterness is medium-low, balancing the profile toward a slightly sweet, lingering finish that remains free of harsh burnt notes.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, providing a rounded and substantial feel without any sharp astringency.
