Les Deux Amants

Arthus is an evocative Smoked Porter that masterfully balances a robust roasted malt backbone with an elegant wood smoke profile. The sensory experience is defined by deep layers of bittersweet chocolate and coffee-like roast, harmonized by an aromatic campfire-like smokiness that remains smooth rather than harsh. On the palate, the interplay of savory beechwood smoke and dark grains creates a sophisticated depth, complemented by a subtle earthy hop presence. The mouthfeel is satisfyingly medium-full, leading to a clean, slightly dry finish where the lingering essence of wood-fired embers and toasted malt provides a refined, savory conclusion.

Appearance. Very deep brown to near-black in color (30-40 SRM). Topped by a thick, persistent tan head with fine lacing. Clarity is opaque, though clear ruby highlights may be visible at the edges of the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of wood smoke, reminiscent of a crackling campfire, layered over moderate roasted malt scents of bittersweet chocolate and espresso. Very low earthy hop aroma and minimal fruity esters, allowing the clean fermentation and smoke to dominate.

Taste. The initial impression is a savory blend of smoked malt and dark-roasted grains. Flavors of baker's chocolate and toasted bread are balanced by a moderate bitterness. The smoke adds a perceived dryness to the finish, which is clean and free of harsh, rubbery, or medicinal notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift on the tongue. Very low alcohol warmth is appropriate for its strength, with no smoky astringency or phenolic bite.
