3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml swing-top bottle from Cervezorama 2.0 in Madrid. Pours a black body with an inch thick, dense, creamy and foamy, brown head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is roasty and citrusy with lots of grapefruits and a nice dark chocolate malt backing. Pine resins, caramel, bread, and touches of licorice. Flavor is similar. Lots of resiny, piney grapefruits up front before a nice roastiness comes in. A good amount of dark chocolate, some caramel, bread, and hints of licorice balance the hops nicely. Finishes dry, bitter, roasty, and piney with lots of grapefruits before leaving a lengthy aftertaste. Medium-full body and a soft, moderately active carbonation. Overall, a really nice hoppy porter. Lots of grapefruit pine resins, but plenty of roasts and chocolate to balance. Great beer.

Fantástica cerveza, superequilibrada, cuerpo rotundo al ojo y a la boca, hasta algo casi cremoso, no demasiado intensa de aroma, y con clara presencia de los lupulos en boca.
