GATEWAY BREWING COMPANY - BOMBAY PORTER
Alcohol Content : 6% - 8% Abv
Brewed at Gateway Brewing Company, Mumbai.
Beer style : Porter
 
Appearance : The beer pours black in colour with a medium tan head. Opaque in appearance as no light passes through it. Head despitates with time. No lacing was observed.
Aroma & Flavor : The beer has a moderate roasted malt aroma and flavor which builds up as it gets warmer. Medium to high caramel aroma and flavors are detected accompanying moderate toffee aroma and flavors. It has a spicy alcohol warmth which is noticeable and is prominent once the beer gets warm. A light coffee and chocolate characters are found. No hop aroma and flavor detected.
Mouthfeel : This is a full bodied beer with medium carbonation. The carbonation bite gives a perception of metallic taste but does not alter the taste of the beer. Moderate spicy alcohol fusels could be felt on the palate. Aftertaste of caramel and toffee can be found with light coffee. 
Overall Impression : I was really impressed with the flavor profile of the beer. This is definitely malt focused to perfection. It is boozy and surely compliments the roasted character in the beer. This can be easily had for your summer evenings without being too heavy. Gateway brewing company is doing great with its brews and I am looking forward to try their other range of beers. I would 100% recommend the Bombay Porter and if you are a dark beer lover this will not disappoint you. Cheers🍺
