Commercial Description:
A beer with dark, rich color and complex flavor born out of a combination of 6 malts. We balance all of this with some of the Northwest’s finest hops. Our porter is often described as creamy in texture yet not roasted or burnt like a stout.

Pretty decent for a porter. Their is a bit of sublime earthiness and minerality in the nose, followed by roasted chocolate and caramel. The flavor is medium bodied and not exactly bold, but understated notes of dark fruit and maltiness. Finishes light and clean.

Tap @ the brewery. The aroma is really malty some earthy, roasted, chocolate and dark vinuous fruit malts. Flavor was more of the same, rich and complex malt flavor as advertised. Finish is bitter coffee. Mouth feel is medium to light. I was impressed.

Bomber. Pours dark with tan head which disappears quickly. Smells of sweet roasted malt. Tastes of the same with a little dark berry. Quick finish.
