Porter 7.2 º

Octavo Arte

This Raspberry Imperial Porter presents a bold sensory experience where intense roasted characters meet vibrant fruit. The aroma is dominated by dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans, seamlessly integrated with the tart, authentic fragrance of 100% natural raspberry. On the palate, the raspberry provides a bright acidity that lifts the deep malt profile, which borders on charred grain and cocoa. Despite its strength, the beer maintains a sophisticated balance between the sweetness of the fruit and the assertive bitterness of the roasted malts. It finishes with a lingering interplay of berry skins and dark malt, offering a complex, warming, and deeply satisfying mouthfeel.

Appearance. SRM 35–40. Opaque, very dark brown to near black with ruby highlights at the edges. Features a dense, creamy, tan-colored head with excellent retention and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Prominent dark chocolate and roasted coffee aromas are complemented by a distinct, fresh raspberry character. Low earthy hop notes and moderate fruity esters support the malt, without any acrid or sharp burnt edges.

Taste. Strong roasted flavor featuring dark chocolate and lightly burnt grain, described as deep and petroleum-like in intensity. The natural raspberry provides a tangy, fruit-forward layer that accompanies the malt without overshadowing it. Medium-high bitterness provides balance, leading to a medium-dry finish with lingering notes of berry and espresso.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a creamy, smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its higher strength, with very low malt astringency.
