Espiga Porter

This English Porter presents a deep mahogany, nearly opaque appearance crowned by a persistent beige foam. The complex grist, featuring Chocolate, Crystal Light, and Pale Ale malts, delivers a decadent bouquet of cocoa, toasted almond, and dark bread. A silky mouthfeel, enhanced by the inclusion of Oat and Wheat, carries flavors of roasted caramel and licorice. While traditionally styled, a firm bitterness from Columbus, Cascade, and Willamette hops provides a modern edge, introducing herbal and subtle resinous notes that balance the sweetness. It finishes with a clean, lingering roastiness, harmonizing the rich malt complexity with a refreshing, hop-forward snap.
