Van Moll / La Pirata Switchblade

This collaboration between Van Moll and La Pirata Brewing delivers a contemporary American Porter defined by its exceptional fruit-forward profile. Intense notes of dark fruits, such as black cherry and plum, weave through a foundation of rich chocolate and roasted malt. While the 'Super Fruity' character provides an initial impression of sweetness, the beer transitions into a balanced mid-palate with moderate bitterness and a surprisingly dry finish. The 6.5% ABV adds a subtle structural warmth that supports the layered dark malt complexity, resulting in a sensory experience that is both dessert-like in its fruit-and-chocolate harmony and classically refreshing in its roasted execution.
