Ottos Arthurs Robust Porter

Cask at Otto’s. Very deep dark brown/almsot black with a frothy beige head and good lace. Aroma had lot sof chocolate malts with hints of roasted barley. Light hops all the way through for some balance, more chocolate in the middle, and a ligth bitterness in the end with hints of licorice. One of the smoothest porters I have had.

Draft at State College. Deep burnt sienna with tan head. Aroma of dark malt, chocoff, some licorice and port. Tastes roasty malty, with finishing chocoff and molasses. Great balance and complexity.

This is cask-conditioned. Roasted malts, coffee and chocolate, smoky aroma. Dark brown-black liquid with cocoa-tan thin head. Light carb, almost flat. Heavy watery body. Sweet roasted/smoky malts. Chocolatey with sweet chocolate malt finish and light sweet nutty bitter after. Very rich and filling. Very enjoyable porter.
