Porter 4.1 º

Suburbier

This English Porter reimagines the classic dark ale as a comforting, liquid confection inspired by hot chocolate. Designed for long, cold nights, it features a luxurious infusion of cacao from Ecuador and Brazil. These specialty additions layer intense, velvety dark chocolate and nutty cocoa nib notes over a traditional base of bready and toasted malts. Despite its approachable session-strength alcohol content, the beer maintains a dessert-like indulgence with hints of caramel and soft toffee. The profile is defined by its rich chocolate aromatics and a smooth, inviting character that balances mild roast with a lingering, pastry-inspired sweetness.

Appearance. Dark brown with deep ruby highlights when held to the light. Crowned by a moderate, creamy, light tan head with fair retention and slight lacing. Generally clear, though the cacao additions may lend a soft, velvet-like opacity.

Aroma. High intensity of rich dark chocolate and natural cocoa, supported by moderate bready and biscuity malt. Low earthy hop notes and subtle dark fruit esters are present, while the roast remains smooth and chocolate-forward without any burnt or acrid qualities.

Taste. Initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and toasted bread. The mid-palate reveals layers of nutty cacao, toffee, and caramel. Hop bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance against the malt sweetness. The finish is slightly sweet and creamy, leaving a lingering aftertaste of milk chocolate and mild roast.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a notable silkiness and light creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle lift to the palate. Despite the pastry influence, it remains highly drinkable with no perceptible alcohol warmth.
