On tap at the brewery. This dark brown ale poured with a foamy tan head and a treacle aroma. There is a thin chocolate malt flavor with a litlle coffed. A mediocre brew.

Tap at the brewery. Dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, roast, and chocolate. Flavor is roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and a somewhat hoppy finish. Seemed like more than 28 IBUs. Palate pretty standard for the style.

Tap at the brewpub: Deep brown/ruby hue with a tan ring of head. Mildly sweet aroma with notes of cocoa and not much roast. Light body with a bit too much carbonation (especially for a Porter). Papery flavor- some cocoa and nutty notes but it’s a bit thin and one dimensional overall.

21st Ammendment, September 2006: Malty roasted taste and nose - king of light and simple and plain.

21st ammendment general pippos porter: THIS TASTES LIKE GODDAMN BACON!

Draft. Dark ruby-brown beer with a nice light tan head. Roasty, chocolate aroma. Coffee, roast, chocolate flavor with bitterness to back. Medium-plus body. Chocolate, roast, coffee lingering with a bit of bitterness.

Draft at brewpub: reddish brown color. Fairly light color even for a porter. Aroma is chocolate, PNW hops, caramel, some roast and coffee. Medium to light body, quite sweet. While the description might sound promising, the beer itself lacks refinement.
