Bridge Road Robust Porter

Post number 100 for the blog!

In all honesty it's a shame it wasn't something more momentous. This is the first dark beer tried from Bridge, tipping the scale at 5.2%.

Crack the top and there's a definite 'bang', then head flowing out of the bottle. Why is this? This was stored upright for at least a week in good cold conditions. No excuse? A mate's bottle did the same damn thing too. Sigh. No-one likes a fizzy porter.

Reasonable aroma, in a chocolate malt central sort of way. Once the head settles it's pleasant enough too except a bit of an empty spot there in the middle. The aftertaste and mouthfeel could improve too. So all in all it's vaguely unpleasant, a shame. 5.0
