Tsarina Esra Imperial Porter – ABV 10.1%
Cara and Munich malts combine with Premiant and Sladek hops to give a dark chocolate and charred wood aroma, with coffee notes and a velvety red wine mouthfeel.
Look: Tsarina Esra pours dark black with a thin head and lots of beige lacing.
Aroma: The smell is malt and woodsmoke and some caramel hints.
Taste: We get sweet plums, roasted malts and lots of bitterness the hops in the finish.
Food Pairing: Try pairing it with the Irish classic of Boiled Bacon and Cabbage. OK, so its not an Irish Stout – but we aren’t going let a small detail like that get in the way of a delicious food pairing.
Verdict: Another brilliantly balanced beer De Molen.
