All New Englanders have a special place in their hearts for the old, dilapidated covered bridge of their youth. Maybe you rumbled over one every day riding shotgun in the family’s rusted-out pickup truck, or maybe one stands out from some rustic vacation largely long-since forgotten. No matter the case, they remain a symbol of nostalgia and youthful exuberance, a figurative bridge to another time.
For the traditionalist, the sentimental at heart, we offer Robust Porter, our take on a style of beer that, like these bridges, has remained impervious to trends, stalwart in the face of change. One gulp and you’ll be teleported to a simpler time. To that, all we can say is, Cheers

6er from the lcbo. Outstanding roasty aroma, slight amounts of coffee, just alot of dark, slightly sweet roast. The flavour was a really great amount if piney hops, with alot more roast, with toiches of soy, and coffee. Outstanding porter.

Bottle at home. Aroma of malt, roast, chocolate, cream, coffee, a hint of smoke, hoppy notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate to medium roasty and hoppy bitter finish. Body is medium to heavy. Wow, this is great Porter, there’s a lot going on. Good balance between roast and hops.

Pours pitch black with a robust tan head. Strong aroma of roasted malt and alcohol. Taste has rich coffee notes, nutty profile on the tongue. Dark fruit. Palate has residual burnt coffee notes, chocolate and toasted malt. Fantastic porter.
