Trolley 5 Coffee Porter - 20 Litre Keg
Trolley 5 Coffee Porter is a meticulously crafted brew from Canada, originating in the heart of the Beltline district in Calgary, Alberta. This urban brewpub was founded in 2016 by Calgary locals PJ L’Heureux and Ernie Tsu, who transformed the historic Melrose Café space into a multi level community hub. Named after the No. 5 Trolley line that once served the neighborhood, the brewery operates under the philosophy of bringing people together through fresh, on site brewing and a deep connection to the city's industrious history.
Beer Description
This Chocolate Espresso Porter presents a striking deep black appearance with subtle ruby highlights and a dense, tan head. The aromatic profile is dominated by freshly pulled espresso, cocoa powder, and toasted malt, which lead into a light to medium body. On the palate, the beer reveals a smooth and approachable character where layered notes of dark chocolate and coffee are expertly balanced and restrained. It finishes clean with a gentle roast dryness and a touch of bitterness, offering complexity without excessive heaviness.
Food Pairing
The robust roasted character of this porter makes it an ideal companion for the brewery's own smokehouse BBQ, particularly brisket or pulled pork. It also serves as a sophisticated contrast to sweet indulgences like tiramisu, chocolate fondant, or a rich sticky toffee pudding. For those seeking a savoury experience, the beer's coffee notes beautifully complement the sharpness of a blue cheese or the earthy sweetness of roasted root vegetables.
