Today's sample is another beer from Thirsty Dog Brewing Company in Akron, Ohio.  The Old Leghumper Robust Porter caught my eye on the shelf of the World Market in Mooresville on my last visit, so I grabbed a bottle.  From the bottle:

This robust porter is dark brown in color and full bodied with a malty sweet taste.  Deep roasted, yet silky smooth!  Two types of roasted malts, including roasted chocolate malt give this beer its award winning flavor.

This porter does have an excellent roasted flavor that headlines the malty sweetness.  Compared to other beers of this style, I think this one is average with no particular qualities that make it stand out.  It's a good beer for sure...
