Aroma is not very much hops but a nice chocolate and expresso smell. The taste is interesting, a strong coffee/chocolate flavor (not as strong as a stout but close), but it really does have some bitterness to it. A very complex beer but after drinking about half of it was really easy to drink and was very good. Would definitely have again.

Pretty good butnothingexceptional

Wired chalky taste

Flavors are reminiscent of pine cone and Christmas spice.

Hoppy Porter. To be expected with CCB.

This is a great porter. Rich flavor , well balanced. It says robustly hopped but it is not too bitter. Pour heavy to release the head

Very dark roasty porter almost stout like full malty flavour long lasting finish. Sort of black coffee like feel

When they say robust, they mean it! Bitter hops and dark roasty malts. Jose grew on me as I drank it.
