Full-bodied, dry, clove spice, chocolate and roasted malts. Tasty on a breezy Autumn day!

Robust Porters typically feature a more bitter and chocolate malt flavor as compared to a
lighter, This was the first beer we ever brewed at the Korbel facility. The recipe is very close to its original formulation. Bittered with Brewers Gold with Cascade and Celeia in the mid and late boil.

Sampler at the brewpub in Santa Rosa. Brown color with amber highlight and nice small stable tan head. Roasted malts, bitter chocolate, liquorice, and bitter finish. Low carbonation (again: hand pump?). An excellent Porter - sweet without being sweet, but still sorta bitter and dry.

Draft @ Russian River. Thick foamy tan head chillin on top a dark brown/black liquid. The aroma and flavor run hand-in-hand. Burnt coffee grounds, barely, dry roast with a hint of bitter chocolate to even out the sweetness. The body and texture is real nice for a standard porter. Borderline full with a slight creamy, smoothness.
