Porter 12 º

Phase Three Brewing

This indulgent Imperial Porter, categorized as a Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer, presents a masterclass in adjunct integration. The sensory experience is dominated by the aromatic punch of Tugboat Coffee, contributing notes of dark chocolate and roasted nuts that meld seamlessly with the base beer’s deep malt profile. Authentic maple syrup provides a woody, forest-floor sweetness and a decadent, velvet-like texture. At 12% ABV, the beer carries a refined alcohol warmth that supports the massive body without becoming sharp. The finish is a complex interplay of charred grain bitterness, espresso-like acidity, and a lingering, sticky maple glaze that remains balanced and avoids cloying sweetness.

Appearance. Opaque, jet black (SRM 40+). Pours with a thick, creamy, mocha-colored head that shows moderate retention and leaves oily lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring prominent freshly roasted Tugboat Coffee and rich, woody maple syrup. Supporting notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and charred malt. Low earthy hop aroma; clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression is richly sweet and roasty. Deep flavors of bittersweet cocoa and espresso are complemented by the distinct, natural sweetness of maple syrup. Medium-high bitterness from dark-roasted grains and coffee provides essential balance. The finish is long and luxurious, echoing notes of burnt sugar and coffee beans with a clean, warming aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a coating, creamy texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a soothing sensation without being harsh or solventy.
