Porter 5.8 º 65 IBU

The Flying Inn

This refined English Porter is a sensory collaboration with Puchero Coffee Roasters, showcasing the vivid profile of Burundi Mpanga Natural coffee. It pours an opaque black with a dense, cinnamon-colored head. The aroma is dominated by high-intensity single-origin coffee, layered with notes of cocoa, dark caramel, and a subtle hint of raisins and mature fruit. On the palate, the complex grain bill of seven barley and oat malts provides a smooth, full-bodied foundation for flavors of dark chocolate and toffee. A distinctive retro smoky bite adds depth to the finish, while the fruit-forward coffee preserves a high degree of drinkability.

Appearance. Opaque black (SRM 30+) with subtle ruby highlights. Thick, persistent cinnamon-colored head with excellent retention and lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of freshly roasted Burundi Mpanga coffee and dark cocoa. Supporting notes of toffee, dark caramel, and a distinct fruity ester profile reminiscent of raisins and mature fruit. A very light, clean smoky wisp is detectable over a toasty malt base.

Taste. Rich initial impression of specialty coffee and bittersweet cocoa. The mid-palette reveals toffee and toasted bread from the complex malt bill. Low to moderate bitterness balances the dark caramel sweetness. The finish is smooth with a lingering coffee presence and a unique, mild smoky aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full body with a creamy, smooth texture enhanced by the addition of oat malts. Moderate carbonation. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth that remains pleasant.
