The independent, aviation inspired team at Archer Brewing are showing off their dark side with the Velvet Porter, a beautifully smooth winter warmer designed for absolute comfort. Operating out of their unique Wilston brewery, the crew has crafted this seasonal drop using 100% Australian malts to anchor a rich, texturally complex brew. It pours a deep, opaque mahogany with a dense, creamy tan head. On the nose, it hits you with an incredibly inviting bouquet of dark chocolate, freshly roasted coffee beans, and a delicate hint of dark brown sugar. The palate is velvety smooth and medium-bodied, where complex layers of bitter cocoa and roasted malt intertwine with a gentle, balanced hop bitterness. It skips any heavy cloying sweetness, finishing remarkably clean with a satisfying, dry roasty edge. It's a high vibe dark beer built for chilly Brisbane evenings.
