Garage Project's Robust Porter is a true standout in the world of imperial porters. This beer from the renowned New Zealand brewery boasts a deep, dark brown hue with captivating ruby highlights and a thick, creamy beige head. The aroma is a tantalizing blend of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and molasses, with hints of licorice and tobacco adding depth and complexity. The flavor profile is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and decadent character. Roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, and dark caramel take center stage, while subtle notes of toffee, brown sugar, and nutmeg emerge to provide a delightful balance. The bitterness from the roasted malt and hops is present but well-integrated, fading gradually and leaving a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. The mouthfeel is thick and velvety, with a medium-low carbonation that creates a smooth and creamy texture on the palate. This porter is a true sipping experience, perfect for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of a well-crafted imperial porter.
