Founders Brewing Company: Porter

Founders Brewing Co. 

235 Grandville SW 

Grand Rapids, MI

12B Robust Porter

 

Aroma: (11/12) 
Very nice roasted nose! I can tell this

beer is a strong porter.  Some chocolate

aromas as well.

 

Appearance: (3/3)  

Pours a very nice head.  Head is

fantastically brown.  Totally black /

motor oil-like.

 

Flavor: (18/20)

Some sweet roastedness.  Uncanny

resemblence to Bells Kalamazoo Stout.

Nice balance between roasted grains

and hops.  A truly great porter!

 

Mouthfeel: (5/5)
Body is nice and thick. Creamy mouthfeel,

possible use of oatmeal...

 

Overall Impression: (9/10)
This is one of the best porters I've had.

Everything from aroma, flavor and mouthfeel

are good / well-done!  Another great beer

from this brewery!

 

TOTAL: 46/50
