Dark baker’s chocolate, toffee, caramel, roast, ash, slight smoke, and alcohol in the background. Silky dark/baker’s chocolate, caramel, toffee, velvety, slightly smoky, and lingering long finish that dries from the dark malts. This beer is rich and delivers a complex dark malt profile. The perfect night cap. This beer could be paired with a great flourless chocolate cake and raspberry sauce. It could do bread pudding as a nice compliment. Let your imagination go wild. Robust porter is just as the name states. It has more going on than a brown porter. Robust porters are darker in color because of more dark malt additions. They can be higher in alcohol and hoppier as well. Basically a robust porter is more of everything you might like about porters. We take our interpretation up a notch by adding a touch of smoked malt to give it a slight smoky finish, Enjoy!
