Sensory Description:

This approachable porter opens with aromas of sweet dark malt, gently unfolding into a medium-bodied palate laced with flavors of cocoa, caramel, and a touch of roasted grain. American hop varietals lend a bright lift to the beer’s core, creating a lively contrast to its malty richness and adding subtle floral and citrus notes on the finish.

Brewer's Background:

Ecliptic Brewing was founded by legendary Oregon brewmaster John Harris, a pioneer of the Pacific Northwest craft beer scene. After decades of shaping some of the region’s most iconic beers at McMenamins, Deschutes, and Full Sail, Harris launched Ecliptic to combine his passions for brewing and astronomy. The result is a series of boundary-pushing beers rooted in tradition, brewed with curiosity and cosmic flair.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the Capella Porter slightly chilled, around 50–55°F. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, mushroom-based dishes, chocolate desserts, or a sharp cheddar cheese plate. This is a beer for evenings under the stars or quiet moments by the fire.
