Both porter and port wine are drinks with an intense character. The beer brings a dark aroma into the glass, which usually breaks out into elements of delicately melting chocolate, creamy caramel or freshly brewed coffee. The wine from northern Portugal is a strong sub-genre of the classic red wine and combines an impressive 19 to 20 percent alcohol content with a heavy, sweet and spicy taste profile.
A brewery that likes to make the impossible possible is Freigeist Bierkultur. And because less is not always more, the team has taken on Porter and Port to create a powerful hybrid. The successful combination of wine and beer is called Portler and, in addition to a selection of English hops, exquisite roasted malts and a strong yeast, also contains a portion of port wine. The wine contributes fruity, woody and spicy notes to the mixture, which go perfectly with the bitterness of the hops and the full-bodied malt notes.
Portler presents itself in a dark shade of mahogany in the glass and forms a delicate veil of ivory foam. The scent of red dried fruit fills your nose and makes you excited to drink. The taste test reveals a composition of dried fruit, delicately melting chocolate, roasted grains, caramel and strong port wine. This beer is the right choice for everyone who is not afraid of 10.0% alcohol content and an intense aroma.
