As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines read for this profile list porters and stouts as separate styles; Robust Porter runs 5.1 to 6.6 percent ABV and 25 to 40 IBU, and Brown Porter 4.4 to 6.0 percent ABV and 20 to 30 IBU. The published strength fits both cited porter ranges; bitterness fits the Robust Porter range.

Research Notes
Field pass 2026-10-13: A dedicated brewery page establishes beer url. It gives 5.4% ABV and 30.5 IBU, versus the retained Untappd values of 6% and 32 IBU already cited; the difference remains unresolved. No hop varieties are named.
The brewery home page links pages only for Tucson Blonde, Hipsterville Hazy IPA, Citrazona and Barrio Rojo.
Search results showed Brewbound and BeerAdvocate listings for the beer with conflicting ABV figures and a brewery-supplied note on its origin and an earlier GABF gold; both pages returned 403 when opened, so their figures were not accepted.
No 2026 medal announcement was found.
Researched 2026-10-13.
Second pass 2026-10-13: The accessible Untappd listing names Barrio and Nolan's Porter, supplying ABV and IBU. Its roasted malt and chocolate language describes flavor, so no ingredients were inferred. The previously inaccessible conflicting listings remain unresolved.
Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended; the brewery site has no page for it.
