Commercial Description:
The perfect robust porter: The sharp bitterness of the black malt sits nicely within the overall malty sweetness. Full bodied with a medium hop bitterness.

Six different malts are combined to create this complex Robust Porter. Perle and Willamette hops are added to fashion the perfect balance for which the Ten Pin is renowned.

Bottle courtesy of screach. Pours a dark brown to black with one finger tan head that settles quickly but laces the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of roasted coffee, caramel, ripe dark fruit, some hints of toffee and spice. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of chocolate, roast, ripe dark fruit, hints of caramel and honey. Generally medium body with a pleasing roasted malt finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Heavy malt notes of toasted, cereal, and mild coffee, moderate hop and yeast aromas of herbs and earth, with a hint of vanilla. Head is small, frothy, off-white, with fair lacing and is almost fully diminishing. Color is clear brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and acidic to start and finishes moderately acidic and sour. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a lively carbonation. Bold aromas from this Porter, but a blah finish in both flavor and feel knocks it down a bit.

The aroma is right for a porter with toasted malt, coffee, and hops. The appearance is brown with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma simple and moderately bitter. The palate is average. Overall a decent porter.
