This English Porter balances traditional dark malt complexity with a modern, assertive hop presence. Pours a deep mahogany with brilliant clarity and a persistent tan head. The aroma leads with rich notes of Chocolate malt and toasted biscuits, layered with the distinctive resinous and earthy spice of UK Chinook hops. On the palate, a smooth foundation of caramel and nutty malts supports a punchy hop bitterness, offering a clean departure from historical sweetness. The UK Chinook provides a lingering piney finish that complements the subtle dark fruit esters, resulting in a robust, medium-bodied ale that is both comforting and vibrantly bitter.

Appearance. Dark brown in color with brilliant clarity and deep ruby highlights. Features a moderate, creamy light tan head with good retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity of chocolate malt and toasted bread. A pronounced hop character of resinous pine and spicy earthiness from UK Chinook is evident. Subtle notes of dark stone fruit esters and a hint of toffee sweetness in the background.

Taste. Initial malt-forward impression of chocolate and biscuity toast. A firm hop flavor follows, bringing a resinous, herbal quality from the UK Chinook. Bitterness is moderate to moderately-high, balancing the sweet caramel and nutty malt mid-palette. The finish is fairly dry with a lingering roasted cocoa and hop resin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Features a smooth, lightly creamy texture and a faint, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
