Beer Reviews:
Tobin’s Review 3 out of 5
One-Eyed Jack’s Robust Porter recipe produces a super dark stout looking beer with a nice caramel colored head. The beer resembles more of a stout than a porter, as it’s bitter. I pick-up aromas of toasted grains on the nose. The beer is smooth with a little bit of a bitter end. The flavors are similar to burnt chocolate, but creamy as well. Overall it’s not a bad beer, but I would prefer a different style of porter.
