Aroma is roasted malt and chocolate with a little coffee. Flavor is mostly roasted malt and chocolate with some coffee at end to add some bitterness. Nice rich porter that finishes a little dry. Nice porter. Glouglouburp (2113), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 20, 2008 <b>In short: </b>A standard highly roasted American stout/porter. Slightly above average<br />
<b>How: </b>Bottle 22oz, drank about 3 months after purchase<br />
<b>The look: </b>Black body topped by an initially large tan head with medium retention<br />
<b>In long: </b>Nose of roasted coffee beans, some smoke and charcoal. Taste is highly roasted, burnt dark malts held together by some tar. Milky black-chocolate (the low-cacao % kind), some black coffee and some molasses. Not much in the way of bitterness, finish is chocolaty roastiness. Some dark grapes as the beer warms up. A bit too sweet but the high roastiness level hides it pretty well and creates a light dryness sensation. Body is comfortably soft and full. Carbonation is relaxed. Overall this is a good beer. It’s highly roasted/burnt character makes it a bit rough around the edge so if this is their Silk Porter then their Robust Porter must grate the tonsils. grimreeser (756), Minnesota, USA Nov 20, 2008 Pours black with a thinnest of thin dark tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, toffee. Light sweetness, enough hops to be noticed.
