Basqueland Ye Olde
Porter - 4.7º
Basqueland Brewing
This English Porter evokes a traditional character through a carefully layered grist of Maris Otter, Crystal Extra Dark, and Chocolate malts. The sensory experience begins with a deep mahogany pour and an inviting aroma of toffee and cocoa. On the palate, the Maris Otter provides a sturdy, bready foundation that supports a complex medley of toasted flavors. Carafa malt contributes a clean roastiness without harshness, while the Chocolate malt drives a prominent, lingering aftertaste of dark chocolate. The inclusion of oat flakes ensures a remarkably creamy mouthfeel despite the sessionable gravity, resulting in a balanced and smooth finish true to its heritage.
