Three Boys Brewery's Porter is a true delight for the senses. This English-style porter pours a deep black with a creamy tan head that leaves a lacy residue on the glass. The aroma is rich and complex, with notes of roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate, hinting at the flavors to come. On the palate, this porter delivers a full-bodied and velvety texture. Roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate flavors dominate the taste profile, balanced by a subtle sweetness from the caramel. The bitterness from the roasted malts is well-integrated, providing a harmonious and enjoyable drinking experience. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is complemented by a moderate carbonation, which enhances the overall drinkability. The finish is long and lingering, with persistent notes of roasted malt, coffee, and a hint of bitterness. This porter pairs exceptionally well with grilled or roasted meats, such as burgers, steaks, or ribs. It also complements desserts featuring dark chocolate or coffee flavors, making it a versatile choice for a variety of occasions.
