From the brewer

Pours silky black with a creamy tan head. The nose is sweet with strong chocolate and caramel malt presence. No absence of hops gives Founders’ robust porter the full flavor you deserve and expect. Cozy like velvet. It’s a lover, not a fighter.

Who's been drinking this

Smell is like a floral, piney IPA or pale ale, which is decidedly not what you want in a porter. This is followed closely by roast malt notes. Flavor is... basically what you'd expect based on that, although the roast side is more prominent. Not quite a Black IPA, but closer to that than what I'd call a porter.
