210cc pour at Desarmaderos on Christmas, but freshly spent, as we celebrate on Christmas Eve.
Pretty 14k, flimsy head.
Earthy with some faint tropical, papaya & gentle melon. Smells subtle with a hidden funk somewhere.
Fruit forward, white pith bitterness, earthy, with a strong nutty middle. Chewy at first, rapidly turning vapid & thin. Good acid, some tartness riding along the dry finish.
Good, if a bit too empty.

On tap at On tap Palermo, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out dry, earthy cocoa with a toasted malt base. Flavour seemed oddly sweet for the style until I realized that what was labeled as Robust Porter was really a Baltic Porter, with sweet cocoa and a touch of roast. Not particularly on style, but it's not terrible.
