Robust Porter
Pours silky black with a creamy tan head. The nose is sweet with strong chocolate and caramel malt presence. No absence of hops gives Founders’ robust porter the full flavor you deserve and expect. Cozy like velvet. It’s a lover, not a fighter.

Bought locally, bottled January 6th 2026.
Pours black but not pitch black, over a finger of tan foam, retention and lacing are excellent.
The smell is roasted malt, coffee, some hop bitterness and malt sweetness.
The taste is roasted malt and coffee up front, hint of smoke, hop bitterness with no real sweetness at all.
Medium bodied with good carbonation, I will drink this again. I have 5 more bottles.

A classical porter, black and opaque body, average carbonation, thin white and brown foam. This one is close to a stout, rich roasted malt, cacao, coffee, dry with a generous touch of hop at the final, 23.04.20, at Epalinges.

Bottle purchased in Italy last month. Brewed in... Wtf 2021? Okay... Super dark, tan head, opulent nose of chocolate, brown sugar, black malt. Velvety and tasty, aftertaste lingers with smooth roasted malt dryness. Might be a bit aged in the store methinks, but handles it well.

pour opaque BLACK. Wow, does this look thick, looks like an impy stout! Big aroma of coffee, milk chocolate, cocoa, lots of roasted malts. Mouthfeel is chewy, and quite a bit thicker than i expected. Lots of roasted malt in the flavored tailed by lots of coffee, and cocoa. Mild bitterness in the finish, with a touch of hops. Wow, in a blind tasting i think you would be hard pressed to guess this was a porter. But damn it’s delicious.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is roasted malt with chocolate, caramel, coffee, and plenty of mocha. Flavour is medium sweet with a nicely roasty bitterness in the finish. Body is above medium. Lovely rich Porter with lots of roast, chocolate and coffee.
