Robinsons Brewery :
Red 'n' Black Porter
ATTENTION - Now Hear This: If you are reading this go and seek out the beer now - and buy it. Like the bottle says, this is a Limited Edition, and when it's gone, it's gone. And, as of January 2018, it's gone. I picked up a few bottles of this late in 2017, so there may be a few bottles left on the shelf. So stop reading - well, for now - and go seek out this porter.
Anyway, here's the story: Iron Maiden's Bruse Dickinson and the head brewer at Robinsons joined forces, and using a original Robinsons' recipe dating back to the 1850 for a guide, came up with Trooper Red 'n' Black Porter. It's a full bodied, nice and malty Porter, quite tasty, so it's a pity no more will be made. Well, one can hope.
January 2018, and it's cold in Florida. The fireplace is roaring and I am drinking a couple bottles of Robinsons Trooper Red 'n' Black, and even though this Porter is cool, it's very warming to my soul.
