Porter 7.8 º

Cervezas La Virgen

This complex American Porter, a collaboration with Williams & Humbert, presents a deep sensory journey defined by its ten-year-old Solera Gran Reserva Brandy infusion. A jet-black pour yields intense aromas of molasses, muscovado sugar, and rich coffee malts, layered with sophisticated notes of toasted oak and warm leather. The palate is silky and indulgent, showcasing decadent chocolate malts and smoky undertones that harmonize with a vinous brandy character. At 7.8% ABV, a noticeable alcohol warmth emerges, balancing the roasted bitterness and providing a lingering, sophisticated finish. It is a masterful, full-bodied fusion of dark roasted grains and Spanish spirit heritage.

Appearance. Jet black (SRM 40) and opaque; features a persistent, mahogany-colored head with moderate lacing and good retention.

Aroma. High intensity with a base of roasted coffee and dark chocolate malts. Distinctive notes of molasses and muscovado sugar are elevated by the spirit-forward presence of brandy. Background complexity includes toasted oak, smoky tobacco, and leather; earthy hop character is low.

Taste. Initial impression of rich dark chocolate and espresso. The mid-palate introduces complex layers of molasses and burnt sugar, intertwined with a distinct vinous brandy character. Bitterness is moderate-high, derived from both hops and roasted grains, which balances the malty sweetness. The finish is long and warming with a notable smoky aftertaste and subtle oak tannins.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a silky, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present; very low dark malt astringency.
