Robust Porter 6 º 51 IBU

Brasserie Dunham

Brasserie Dunham’s Lapatt Porter Robuste is an assertive take on the English Porter, bridging the gap toward its American cousins with a sturdy 6% ABV. The profile is dominated by rich dark chocolate and deep toasty malt layers, accented by a distinctive resinous hop character that adds a modern edge to the traditional earthy base. A pronounced roasted bitterness develops on the palate, leading into a long, lingering finish of bittersweet cocoa and charred grain. Its medium-full body provides a creamy canvas for the interplay of robust malty sweetness and firm, piney hop notes.

Appearance. Deep brown to nearly black in color with brilliant ruby highlights when held to the light. It features a thick, tan-colored head with excellent retention and significant lacing. Clarity is good, though the beer appears nearly opaque.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent dark chocolate and roasted grain. The malt profile is complex, offering notes of toasted bread, caramel, and light toffee. A distinct resinous and piney hop presence offsets the malty sweetness, accompanied by light esters reminiscent of dried plum.

Taste. Initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and toasted bread followed by nutty and caramel malt depth. The hop flavor is notably resinous and firm, providing a balance that leans toward a roasted bitterness. The finish is long and dry, dominated by cocoa and charred malt with no harsh astringency.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, notably creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to balance the malt weight. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated.
