I'm not entirely sure what Renaissance means by being brewed in the "modern robust style" but I'd have to agree, though robust is understating it a bit. I'd say more unrefined, rough even. Not a classy beer. Strong up front flavour with a nice deep dark copper colour. Roasty, malty and slightly chocolaty but ultimately gritty and very dry. Wouldn't buy this model again but I'd try other Renaissance efforts just to see. Curiously this beer benefits from breathing as a good wine does. It brings out the chocolaty berry flavours and tones down the sharpness.

Dark, dark brown with a nice beige head. Aromas are of dark chocolate malt. Taste is similar with a fine piney drying hops and a bit toasty. Creamy nice full body and finish.

This was an alright porter. It's definitely not worth the $9 it cost for one bottle. If some one gives you one for free then maybe it's worth having.
