Porter 7 º

Octavo Arte

This Imperial Porter presents a commanding sensory profile, leading with intense aromas of freshly roasted coffee and dark cocoa. At 7% ABV, it pushes the boundaries of the American Porter style, offering a luxurious smoothness that balances its roasted intensity. The malt bill delivers layers of toasted grains and bittersweet chocolate, supported by a firm hop bitterness that ensures a structured finish. Despite its strength, the palate remains velvety and approachable. Subtle earthy hop notes linger in the background, complementing the rich, dark malt character without overshadowing the coffee-forward essence of this celebratory Castilla-inspired brew.

Appearance. Very dark brown to near black in color, showing deep garnet highlights when held to the light. It features a dense, persistent tan head with moderately good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity roast-forward aroma, prominently featuring dark coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Low resinous hop character exists in the background, supported by a clean fermentation profile and a slight toasty malt sweetness.

Taste. Strong roasted malt flavor with notes of espresso and cocoa powder. Bitterness is medium-high, providing balance against a light caramel malt sweetness. The finish is moderately dry and smooth, lacking any harsh or acrid burnt qualities, with a lingering roasted grain aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, and there is a noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength. Very low malt astringency.
