Wimbledon Brewery Phoenix
This evocative English Porter presents a refined interpretation of the London style, characterized by a sophisticated interplay between traditional roasted malts and subtle smoke. Aromas of dark chocolate and toasted biscuits merge seamlessly with a gentle, campfire-like wisp from the beech smoke addition. On the palate, the beer is smooth and nuanced, offering layers of rich cocoa, light spice, and a delicate wood-smoke finish that avoids any harsh or phenolic edges. Commemorating history with a balanced profile, it maintains the classic drinkability of a British session ale while providing a complex, lingering depth that honors its namesake's legacy.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown with clear ruby highlights when held to the light. Crowned by a dense, persistent off-white to light tan head with fine-textured lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring notes of milk chocolate, toasted bread, and subtle nutty sweetness. A distinct but restrained aromatic layer of woody beech smoke and a hint of dry spice complements the malt. Low earthy hop notes and very faint fruity esters are present in the background.
Taste. Initial flavors of sweet chocolate and biscuity malt transition into a mid-palate of light caramel and gentle spice. The beech smoke is well-integrated, providing a savory depth without overpowering the base malt character. Bitterness is medium-low, balancing the malt sweetness toward a smooth, slightly dry finish with a lingering cocoa and subtle wood-smoke aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notably smooth and slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is negligible, ensuring high drinkability.
