Ingredients

The brewery's beer page names Willamette hops, chocolate malt and other roasted malts. The Untappd description, written in the brewery's voice, adds that the beer is "dosed up with wheat malt to give it a smooth, subtle breadiness and extra body" (Untappd). No yeast is named.

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines read for this profile list porters and stouts as separate styles; Robust Porter calls for a very dark beer with cocoa and caramel sweetness balanced by dark malt bitterness, 5.1 to 6.6 percent ABV and 25 to 40 IBU. The published 6.6% ABV and 25 IBU sit at the edges of that range.

Research Notes

  • ABV and IBU come only from Untappd; the brewery page publishes neither. A search summary cited a slightly different magazine ABV, which was not opened and is not used.
  • The brewery page lists the flavor profile as brownie, roasted and coffee.
  • Wheat malt is named only in the Untappd description.
  • No 2026 medal announcement was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Catalog.beer 2026-10-14: Catalog.beer: Dark Matter lists 6.6% ABV, 25 IBU, style "Brown Porter" (entry last modified 2020-05-02). Where it differs from the brewery's own published value, the brewery's value stands.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery page gives tasting words, color and Willamette hops.
