Our Robust Porter is brewed with eight malts to make a roasty brew with coffee and chocolate in the nose, balanced by complex caramel malt flavor and a medium full, malty mouthfeel. One of the five beers we had on draft the day we opened!
Malts: Caramel, ESB, Carapils, Pale Chocolate, Black, Munich, Marris Otter
Hops: Cascade
