Kentucky Porter by Eddyline Brewery New Zealand is a captivating porter that takes you on a journey of rich, robust flavors. This beer showcases a deep mahogany color with a dense, creamy tan head that leaves intricate lacing on the glass, hinting at the complexity to come. The aroma is an intense bouquet of roasted malts, dark chocolate, molasses, and subtle hints of sweet bourbon. This sets the stage for the bold and complex flavor profile that follows. The velvety sweetness of the malt is met with a wave of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and molasses, all balanced by a subtle hop bitterness and a lingering warmth from the bourbon barrel aging. Notes of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit add depth and complexity to this captivating porter. The mouthfeel is full-bodied, smooth, and creamy, with a moderate carbonation that provides a lively effervescence. The finish is long-lasting, with a combination of chocolatey, malty notes and a subtle warmth from the bourbon, making this porter a truly indulgent experience.
