Smuttynose Robust Porter In My Glass

January 31, 2008 – 6:52 pm | by jaygaulardcom

Today, we took another trip up to Emmanuel’s Supermarket in Stone Ridge. The season premier of “Lost” is on tonight and that called for some Sushi. We got around seven boxes of it, along with some more beer. I also got those bagels I told you about before. Ohhh, so nice.

Today’s beer is “Smuttynose Robust Porter” from New Hampshire. It’s a nice dark beer with a dark/light taste, if that means anything. The reviewers over at Beer Advocate gave it high marks. The reason I say it has a dark/light taste is because it looks dark and does have some rich qualities, but it doesn’t get stuck in my gums. If I have to floss after drinking a beer…to me, that’s dark. For regular people, this is an excellent beer. I think this company does an excellent job brewing it.

I checked the tracking on my Coopers Brew Kit and UPS is telling my it will be here on Feb.5. That’s a while away, but I think I have enough beer in the fridge to hold me over.
