Tasting Note – White Porter

Appearance:
Pale golden to light amber in colour, with a slight haze and a creamy, off-white head that lingers. Visually unexpected for a porter, yet intriguing.

Aroma:
Rich layers of vanilla, cocoa nibs, and mild roasted coffee on the nose, mingled with subtle caramel and biscuit malt tones. Hints of coconut or nutmeg may emerge, adding complexity.

Taste:
Surprisingly full-bodied and smooth, with Flavors of white chocolate, roasted malt, and espresso balancing against a sweet, creamy backbone. Toasted oats and a touch of spice provide depth, while the malt sweetness is gently tempered by a light hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied and silky with a soft carbonation. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving a pleasant echo of vanilla and roast.

Overall Impression:
A well-executed contradiction—a golden beer that delivers the rich, roasted, dessert-like characteristics of a traditional porter. Innovative and comforting, ideal for those who enjoy boundary-pushing brews.
