According to Montana legend, deep in the expanse of the Bob Marshal Wilderness there lives a small band of rugged and ferocious....

Brewed with 6 different malts & generously hopped. Robust doesn’t really begin to describe this beer. Smooth chocolate flavors with hints of coffee, caramel, and vanilla. Hop presence is copious and is matched by rich malt flavors. Style: Robust Porter Color: Super Dark Abv %: 6.2 IBUs: 32 Malts: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Brown and Black, Roast.

Pours a pitch black with a small tan head. Immediate aromas of coffee/espresso, milk chocolate, leather, dark cherries and roasted malt. First taste is smooth, milky and creamy. A nice cocoa flavor with a rounded out coffee biterness. Very roasted and delicious. Mouthfeel is somewhat oily and slightly sticky. Overall this is a definite beer worth trying.

Tap: Black as black can be with a nice frothy tan head that sticks around for a while. Malty, nutty aroma. Full bodied flavor with charcoal and a nice clean earthy aftertaste.

jmagnus87 (520) - Carbondale, Illinois, USA - JAN 26, 2012
12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours black with no head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and caramel. Taste is light-medium bitter. Lots of cold coffee with a good amount of milk chocolate and a decent bit of caramel. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, this is great. Probably the best porter you can get for the price.
