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.

Powerful aromas of milk chocolate and brownies with intense roasting. Thick foam, very dense and very persistent on a black liquid and quite opaque. The flavors are quite roasted with notes of dark toast, chocolate and coffee that drag until the finish. The finish is very dry and carries a good bitterness of roasted cereals that persists for several seconds. The flavors of hops are rather weak, but we detect a slight coniferous resin. The body is however quite thin compared to other examples of the style. A Porter rich and full of flavors. Excellent example of style. Aromes puissants de chocolat au lait, de brownies assorties d’une intense torréfaction. Mousse épaisse, bien dense et très persistante sur un liquide noir et assez opaque. Les saveurs sont passablement torréfiées avec des notes de pain grillé, de chocolat et de café qui trainent jusqu’en finale. La finale est bien sèche et traine une bonne amertume de céréales torréfiées qui persiste plusieurs secondes. Les saveurs de houblons sont plutôt faibles mais on y décèle une légère résine de conifère. Le corps est cependant assez mince comparé aux autres exemples du style. Un Porter riche et plein de saveurs. Excellent exemple du style. O:7.125 V:4.080 G:9.056 C:4.058 G:15.45 T:39.769

35,5 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Jumbo, Culemborg. Black with a beige head. Chocolate and dried fruits aroma. Sweet taste with a chocolate bitter finish. Really tasteful and revealing more depth with each sip. Great porter.
