Thirsty Crow brewer Craig Wealands is well known for his dark beers. His cult classic Vanilla Milk Stout won him a trophy within the first few weeks of the brewery opening and his Road To Ruin espresso imperial stout is a beer Crafty Pint NSW would happily have as the only one left on the planet.
His Robust Porter is less well known but is another fine drop. A blend of specialty malts lend it layer of roast, chocolate and caramel flavours before a bitter, drying finish comes into play. If you get the chance to sample it via hand pump, do. We guarantee you won't regret it.
