Phase Three Brewing Barrel-Aged Pressed: Reserve (2021)
Porter 14.5 º
This opulent Barrel-Aged Imperial Porter presents a profound sensory experience, born from a blend of whiskey casks and a rest on Tugboat Coffee. The aroma is an intense fusion of freshly cracked medium roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate, layered with distinct whiskey-soaked oak and Madagascar vanilla. On the palate, a viscous, velvety texture carries deep flavors of espresso and bittersweet cocoa, balanced by a subtle, smoky charred wood character. The long-aged whiskey casks impart a warming spirituous finish, while the complex malt bill ensures a lingering sweetness that harmonizes with the coffee's earthy bitterness and rich, toasted grain profile.
Appearance. Opaque, jet black (SRM 40+). Topped with a dense, creamy, mocha-colored head that shows moderate retention and leaves thick, oily lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominant freshly roasted coffee and rich dark chocolate aromas. Significant whiskey-derived notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and caramel. Low earthy smoke and dark fruit esters like plum or raisin. No hop aroma.
Taste. Rich and decadent initial impression. Layers of medium roasted coffee and bakers' chocolate over a sturdy base of toasted malt. Mid-palate reveals whiskey-soaked oak, vanilla, and a hint of campfire smoke. Bitterness is moderate, deriving from both roasted grains and coffee. The finish is long, sweet, and spirit-forward with lingering espresso and cocoa.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and highly viscous, bordering on syrupy. Carbonation is low to moderate. Noticeable and pleasant alcohol warmth that is well-integrated. Extremely smooth, creamy, and coating texture.
