Commercial Description:
The perfect robust porter: The sharp bitterness of the black malt sits nicely within the overall malty sweetness. Full bodied with a medium hop bitterness.

Six different malts are combined to create this complex Robust Porter. Perle and Willamette hops are added to fashion the perfect balance for which the Ten Pin is renowned.

Pours a near black with dark brown highlights and persistant tan head. Aroma of alcohol and some roasty chocolate. Vegetal nuttiness in the flavor. Medium body. Mildest hop bitterness in the finish.

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear dark brown color with a one finger thick light tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is roasted malt and herbal hops. Flavor is roasted malt and a touch of chocolate. The roastiness of the malt lingers a tad on the palate. Mouthfeel and body is a little thin. A drinkable beer, but nothing worth writing home about.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear brown body with a large fizzy light brown head. Roasty nose with some burnt malt, cola, dark fruits, and a touch of hops. The flavor is very astringent and a little high on the burnt malt for my tastes in a Porter. A good bit of hop bitterness mid to late swallow. Finishes with a bit of an ashy note. Mouthfeel is a little thin with fizzy overactive carbonation. Finishes on the watery side with a short duration. Overall, just a little too heavy on the astringency and lacking in a whole lot of complexity.

Dark brown pour, tan head. Good roasted nose. Earthy taste, with some pretty balanced malt, chocolate. Weren’t too adventurous with this one, it is a standard representation of the style. No problem for a session.

Pours dark chestnut brown with a small, fizzy, khaki colored head. Minimal retention or lacing. Aromatics include a cola and molasses malt background, with baker’s chocolate and hints of roasted coffee. A touch of earthy hop bitterness creeps in on the back end. Flavors are similarly simple, with bittersweet chocolate malts, roasty coffee, and earthy bitterness. Light bodied for the style, it is smooth and easily drinkable, but ultimately not very satisfying. Decent little porter, but far from special.
