A robust Porter, Drake’s Black Robusto has a roasty character and is stronger in alcohol than a regular porter (thus “robust’). Dark black in color with chocolate maltiness from seven different types of barley and spicy herbal hop character from Northdown and Williamette hops.

De BeerRepublic. En copa Teku. Jugando a Fortnite y FFX. Tiene un sabor tostado que no está mal pero tampoco dice mucho, echándose en falta notas cafetosas y un mayor cuerpo

Not a connoisseur but love tasting beer. Darks are my favorite. This was a simple lovely pleasure. It is exceptional for its successful perfection of a porter, bringing about the malty chocolate flavors without adding chocolate, if I read it correctly. That's quite a feat, and courageous, too given the ease with which one can add chocolate and coffee and whatever rather than coax the flavor from the natural ingredients. And it was reasonably priced considering the quality.

The beer pours out a black color, with 2 fingers of dark khaki colored head--------------- the aromas are of smoke, bitter chocolate and roasted malts---------------- the flavors are of bitter dark chocolate, milk chocolate and some hop bitterness, the beer has a thin mouthfeel with a medium bitterness on the finish--------------------- overall this beer was good - this was a tasty porter nothing to fancy just a well made classic American porter

Brown color with tan head. Aroma has toasted malt, grains and bread crust. Taste is a bit sweet, nutty, grainy and bready. Medium minus body with medium carbonation. Not too complex, quite boring but well made.
