Smuttynose Brewing Co. Robust Porter

This hearty, mahogany colored ale is brewed to evoke the dark, full-bodied ales that were a favorite of dockworkers and warehousemen (hence the name "Porter") in 19th century London. This is a smooth and very drinkable beer, characterized by its well-balanced malt and hops. It starts with a rich malty palate finished with clean hops and notes of coffee and chocolate.

Rich and flavorful yet surprisingly light going down, this award-winning porter is a roasty treat that reveals more complexities with every sultry sip.

All New Englanders have a special place in their hearts for the old, dilapidated covered bridge of their youth. Maybe you rumbled over one every day riding shotgun in the family’s rusted-out pickup truck, or maybe one stands out from some rustic vacation largely long-since forgotten. No matter the case, they remain a symbol of nostalgia and youthful exuberance, a figurative bridge to another time.

For the traditionalist, the sentimental at heart, we offer Robust Porter, our take on a style of beer that, like these bridges, has remained impervious to trends, stalwart in the face of change. One gulp and you’ll be teleported to a simpler time. To that, all we can say is, Cheers
