Oitava Colina Agasalho
This warming Winter Seasonal Beer builds upon a robust Brown Ale foundation, delivering a comforting sensory profile ideal for cold weather. The inclusion of cocoa seeds introduces a rich aromatic layer of dark chocolate, which is seamlessly complemented by toasted walnut notes that carry from the nose onto the palate. At 8.5% ABV, a supportive alcohol warmth bolsters the medium-full body, while subtle hints of earthy herbs and winter spices add complexity. The experience concludes with a sophisticated bittersweet balance, where the nutty depth lingers alongside a clean, malt-forward finish that suggests luxury and drinkability.
Appearance. Very dark brown (SRM 30-35) with mahogany highlights; clear but appears nearly opaque in the glass. Features a thick, persistent tan head with fine lacing.
Aroma. High intensity with dominant notes of dark chocolate and toasted walnut. The malt character is rich and bready with hints of caramel and toast. Low herbal hop character and subtle dark fruit esters provide background complexity, integrated with a smooth, warming alcohol presence.
Taste. Initial impression of sweet malt and cocoa, followed quickly by a prominent toasted walnut flavor that takes center stage. Malt flavors include caramel and toasted bread. Hop bitterness is moderate, providing a clean balance to the residual sweetness. Subtle spice and herbal notes emerge in the mid-palate. Finishes with a lingering bittersweet character that is well-balanced and satisfying.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a slight malty chewiness and moderate carbonation. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth provides a comforting sensation without being hot. Low creaminess and no detectable astringency.
