Blackbeard Pirate Porter: A Robust and Captivating Craft Brew Hailing from the renowned Golden Bear Brewing Company in New Zealand, the Blackbeard Pirate Porter is a true delight for the senses. This porter, with its impressive 5.7% alcohol volume, is a testament to the skill and expertise of the brewery's brewmasters. As you pour this beer, you're immediately struck by its alluring appearance – black as night, with a creamy tan head that forms a persistent lace on the glass. The aroma is equally captivating, with intense notes of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, and a hint of smoky peat, inviting you to take a sip. The flavor of the Blackbeard Pirate Porter is a robust and full-bodied experience. The malty sweetness is beautifully balanced by a pronounced bitterness, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors. Rich notes of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee dominate the palate, with a subtle smokiness lingering in the background. The finish is dry and roasty, leaving you craving another sip.
