Robust Porter 8 º 26 IBU

Mateo & Bernabé

This sophisticated English Porter evolution offers a complex sensory bridge between a robust dark ale and a rustic Flemish Red. The base reveals deep layers of chocolate and toffee maltiness, significantly enhanced by the addition of Colombian Panela, which provides a rich, unrefined sugary depth. Extensive aging in Rioja red wine barrels imparts distinctive vinous notes of dark cherry, plum, and a touch of oak tannin. A subtle wild character introduces a bright, lactic acidity that cuts through the velvety texture. The result is a bold, high-gravity experience where roasted grains meet the tart, fruity elegance of fine Spanish wine.

Appearance. Dark ebony to deep brown with brilliant ruby highlights when held to light. Topped by a dense, persistent tan head that leaves moderate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity featuring a complex blend of bittersweet chocolate, toasted bread, and rich caramel. Prominent red wine esters suggest black cherry and dried currants, accompanied by subtle oak vanillin and a faint, leathery wild funk.

Taste. Initial rich sweetness from Panela and toasted malts gives way to layers of dark chocolate and nutty toffee. The mid-palate introduces a sharp, wine-like acidity and red fruit character typical of Rioja barrels. Finishes with a balanced blend of mild roasted bitterness and a lingering, slightly tart vinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth reflects its strength, finished with a light, pleasant astringency from the wine barrel contact.
