Robust Porter
Stoup Brewing Brewery & Taproom

 

 

Pours dark brown in color with a thick, tan, frothy head. Head leaves super lacing! Nose is very malty s is the taste. Decent amount of bitterness across entire palate, similar to dark chocolate.

The thing I don't like about Porters & Stouts is the coffee taste. This one has very few notes of coffee and a good malt taste. Chocolate and sweetness come thru more than the coffee so pretty decent.

 

Robust is the word for this stuff! Pours a dark chestnut brown with plenty of beige foam in the Timmermans goblet. Aromatic with roasted grain and a whiff of cocoa. Taste is bitter chocolate with a dose of burnt sugar. Malty and just slightly sweet to start, with a little charred grain and a bitter aftertaste. Overall it's a satisfying dark quaff with no end of flavor. From the 16 oz can purchased at the Co-op market. 2024 edition.

Moderate, light tan, medium sized bubble head. Dark and clear chestnut brown with a bit of auburn highlights, for the look. A slightly sweet, dark toast, caramel malt aroma, with a hint of spiced cocoa nibs, underlying. Medium bodied start to the taste, then right away, a maximum roasted grain flavor, comes in and gives it a little bite. There is the slightest off-dry note with maybe a hint of toffee in the offing, under the surface of the main flavors. A non-bitey, very dark roast grain, with a touch of woodiness, in the trailing finish.
