Blindman Brewing Triphammer Robust Porter – American Porter at 6.5% ABV | 25 IBU (BeerAdvent Calendar #7, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 23-Nov-2024, reviewed 7-Dec-2024)
Appearance: clear deep cola red with one finger of fine beige head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: roasty malts, coffee and chocolate, toffee, hints of liquorice & smoke. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry short finish. (3/5)
Another repeat, this time from near-on seven years ago. A decent example of the style, but slightly thinner than I like for the style. It’s also a little shy of the “robust” promised by the label. Overall, it’s not badly done, but it’s just a little short of great. (15/20)
This is not a unique Untappd check-in.
