nose is roasted/toasty with some chocolate and a tiny bit of caramel. Taste is sweet up front with some coffee with a fairly toasty and almost piney dry finish with a touch of astringency. Medium body, a bit creamy-chewy. Fairly carbonated yet delectable anyway, though might be good casked

The problem with this brew is in the name...It's just not robust as advertised. Nice roasty coffee ground flavor up front, but then it's just weak, like watered-down coffee. I wish there were more meat here. Another case of "coffee-cola."

Good porter, not too heavy but a bit bitter. Buy more

Exquisite aroma and lots of fun, unexpected fizz! Typical porter tastes were apparent, but were overshadowed by too much astringency.

strong coffee taste and a bit more bitter @ 43 IBU than most Porters

Deliciously chocolatey, a bit of coffee, with a bit of a bite. A bit too much carbonation, but it may be different on draft.

Robust is right. Occasionally erratic, but mostly excellent

Very drinkable porter since it leaves very little aftertaste. The hops come through a lot for me making it similar to a black IPA.
