Ridgeway Brewing

Ridgeway Brewing Santa's Butt is a comforting and hearty English Porter crafted for the winter season. It pours a deep, dark brown with ruby highlights, releasing an inviting aroma of rich milk chocolate, toasted brown malt, and subtle English toffee, accented by a mild, earthy hop note. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, warming sensation that aligns with its winter warming intent, showcasing robust flavors of dark chocolate, sweet caramel, and a gentle, nutty roastiness. Balanced by a moderate bitterness and a dry, clean finish, this rich ale provides a cozy, traditional British drinking experience.

Appearance. Deep dark brown with clear ruby highlights when held to the light. Crowned by a moderate, thick tan head with good retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity. Dominated by rich, sweet milk chocolate and toasty brown malt character, with underlying hints of caramel, toffee, and toasted nuts. Low earthy and floral British hop aroma is present alongside a faint, clean dark fruitiness from esters. No diacetyl.

Taste. Initial impression of soft, sweet chocolate and bready malt. Gives way to moderate flavors of toasted biscuits, English caramel, and dark cocoa, without any harsh or burnt roasted malt character. A light earthy hop flavor supports a medium-low bitterness. Finishes moderately dry with lingering notes of sweet toffee and mild dark roast. Clean, well-balanced, and complex.

Mouthfeel. Medium to medium-full body with a smooth, moderately creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances its winter character.
