Starry Eyed Robust Porter

Starry Eyed Robust Porter.


5 % ABV. 24 IBU. Starry Eyed Brewing, Little Falls, MN. 

Dark brown color, mostly opaque, slim brownish head. 

In the nose: roasty-toasty malt is foremost, cocoa comes up from behind. Hint of espresso. 

In the mouth: Bitterness up front to match the sweet, but it's brief, and we quickly settle into a chocolate-y, coffee-ish, caramel-y, medium-bodied kind of porter that I love to drink. Nothing out of the ordinary here, other than the fact that these sort of beers don't appear very often. Not when DDH DIPAs are all the rage, and milkshakes and marshmallows, etc. 

Swift finish in this, but the flavor never quits. I like it. Good porter and you can drink it.
