Portobello by WAR Brewery: The British Porter with a Milanese Heart. Portobello is the new Porter from the Milanese producer WAR, which after many years takes the place of Babau with a more British soul, from the label to the taste journey. Dark beers inspired by English styles are always big challenges for young Italian brewers, and we feel that this time Lorenzo Mascherini, the master brewer of WAR, has hit the mark. This is a Porter that respects tradition, with a fine and contained bubble, immediately reminiscent of cappuccino and milk chocolate and features the classic drinkability from the counter of an English pub. WAR Brewery confirms itself among the most promising in our Italian craft scene, even outside its typical comfort zone. Technical Characteristics Style: English Porter Alcohol content: 5.5% ABV IBU: 30 (moderate bitterness) Format: 33cl Color: Dark brown Brewery: WAR - Milan Master brewer: Lorenzo Mascherini Produced following the tradition of English Porters, Portobello is a dark beer with a fine and contained bubble, with notes of cappuccino and milk chocolate. The drinkability from the counter of an English pub is the main feature. Tasting Notes In appearance, Portobello presents itself dark brown, almost opaque, with a fine and persistent beige foam. On the nose, notes of cappuccino and milk chocolate emerge: roasted coffee, cocoa, roasted malt, with hints of biscuit and caramel. The olfactory profile is clean and inviting, typical of the English style. On the palate, the body is medium, with a fine and contained bubble typical of English Porters. The taste resumes the notes from the nose: cappuccino, milk chocolate, coffee, with a moderate bitterness that balances the malty sweetness. The drinkability from the counter of an English pub is exceptional: the beer flows easily and invites the next sip. Portobello is a Porter that respects tradition, demonstrating WAR's versatility beyond its comfort zone. Recommended Pairings Portobello is perfect to accompany: Fish and chips and English cuisine, Hamburgers and pub food, Aged cheeses (cheddar), Meat roasts, Chocolate desserts, Coffee desserts (tiramisu), Evening meditation. Ideal serving temperature: 10-12°C. Recommended glass: English pint or Tumbler. English Porter: The Tradition of the English Pub English Porters are traditional dark beers of English pubs, characterized by notes of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt, with exceptional drinkability.
