Porter 8 º 106 IBU

Midtfyns Bryghus
Brouwerij de Molen

This collaboration between Midtfyns Bryghus and De Molen presents a robust American Porter that pushes the boundaries of the style with its depth and intensity. Pouring jet black, it offers a complex sensory profile defined by deeply roasted malts and a distinctive, savory note of licorice. Subtle wisps of light smoke and rich caramel emerge in the aroma, reflecting the bold, experimental brewing traditions of both houses. The palate is characterized by a firm bitterness and a lingering finish that balances residual sweetness with toasted grains. At 8% ABV, a gentle alcohol warmth complements the medium-full, velvety texture of this assertive dark ale.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Topped with a dense, persistent chestnut-colored head that exhibits moderately good retention and leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with a prominent roasted malt character suggesting dark chocolate and espresso. Distinct notes of licorice and a subtle hint of wood smoke are present, supported by background caramel sweetness and a low, earthy hop presence.

Taste. Strong roasted flavor featuring chocolate and lightly burnt grain. Layers of licorice and caramel provide a malty richness that offsets the high bitterness. The finish is a balance of sweet and bitter, with a lingering roasted aftertaste that avoids acridity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its strength, without significant astringency.
