AHS Robust Porter (12B) - MINI MASH

Brewed up the all grain. So damn good, I'm not a huge porter fan but this was awesome. Great aroma, dark and dry finish, ABV was spot on.

excellent! Sorry I'm not a better reviewer. Very smooth.

I brewed the partial mash and I think that this is an excellent beer. I will be keeping this around for the cooler season of beer drinking since it is not really a summer beer.

I've made the robust porter several times and it's one of my favorites.

I've brewed this twice. Excellent porter. Very smooth and easy to drink. Out of 7 kits so far, this is one of my top two. The other is the AHS Old Ale.

Mini-Mash kit: Good and well balanced. If you have no idea what a porter is or ever wondered what a general, porter tastes like, then this recipe is for you. This is a basic, no frills porter...which leads into a perfect base for experimenting with other flavors and additions (coffee, chocolate, fruit extracts, etc). At first you taste an unsweetened chocolate taste, then turns a little sweet. The finish is dry, and leaves you wanting to drink another (it's a good thing). Quite smooth, not velvety nor harsh. Definitely not the first beer you want drink after working in the yard on a hot summer day (at least I don't). Well suited for those cool days. Will be ordering again and probably going to modify the recipe by adding coffee next time.

Porter is one of my favorite styles of beer. This is the second that I have brewd. The first was a Summit clone. In my opinion, the Summit clone was much better. The Summit has a much more flavor. I would brew this again, but I will be shopping for other porter clones. This was good, but lacking depth of flavor.
