Since I found my love for beer, Smuttynose Brewing Co. has always been one of my favorites. Recently I tried the Robust Porter for the first time. This porter is rich, as a porter should be; but it is not overly heavy. The initial taste has a little bit to it and the flavor of the hops stand out. The hop flavor quickly gives way to a nice subtle coffee flavor. The after taste keeps the same coffee flavor but seems to last forever, which is great unless you want to switch beers. I love porters, but some tend to be too heavy or have an overpowering flavor. Robust Porter is well balanced and is a great after dinner beer.
4/5
