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

12 ounce bottle. Translucent cola brown color. Dense, creamy tan head. Rich, cocoa malt nose. Soft, silky roasted malt flavor. Rich, flavorful chocolate malt notes. Slightly bitter resiny hops. Absolutely delicious with a smooth easy drinking palate. One of the best American Porters I've tasted.

12oz bottle. Thick dark brown with a good tan head. Chocolate and coffee aromas, flavour is very much the same with some vanilla and leather thrown in. Thick, oily mouth feel. Very good

Ah, ol’ roasty, still as toasty and burnt and drinkable as ever. Giant notes of espresso with dark chocolate undertones, leading to a bitter finish heavy on smoke and a dark cherry sweetness. A bit thin, even for a porter, yet the neverending char gives it an unmistakeable footprint. Not perfect but enjoyable as hell.

Many thanks for this beer to kevnic2008. Ciemna brazowa gesta barwa nieprzezroczysta. Ciemno zotka barwa sredniej pianki szybko opadajacej. Zapach silnie owocowo truflowy. W smaku na samym pczatku bardzo slodko, ale na szczescie smak przechodzi w palonosc i silna goryczke. Ciekawe i zlozone piwo w warstwie smakowej. Dlugi ciagnacy sie lepko-gozki finisz. plus za stylowa etykiete, a minus za brak info o zawartosci alkoholu

A really nice, tasty and easy drinkable brew. Dangerously session able.
Black color with a fine dense beige head. Good lacing. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium + body and a soft smooth carbonation. A nice mellow sweetness. Mild coffee, chocolate, toffee, bready and mild roast.
