Mar 9, 2005 Sampled draught at Bend Brewing Company, Bend
Black, light tan, nose of light roast & soy sauce flavor of more creamy mocha, licorice & chocolate with a smoky undertone. Finishes sharp, could be from the carbonation. Eh.

Feb 12, 2008 1/1/08 At the BrewPub with Bikesandbeer after a day’s drive from Portland, Brewery 5 of the trip. Black pour with an off white ring. Not much of a nose. Had this side by side with the vanilla porter. This one turns out to be a nice light porter.

Nov 17, 2003 Black as all hell with a creamy, light-tan head. Roasty and sugary, coffee-like nose. Creamy and smooth texture with a little weight to it. Freshly roasted coffee notes wafted in the aroma. Flavors of milk chocolate, bitter coffee, and a lot of roast. Sweet underside -- especially up front -- but fades away behind coffee flavors and a bitterness. Slightly zingy hops on the tongue. Pretty good porter.

Mar 21, 2006 Another disappointing appearance. Dark murky brown with minimal to no head. Decent black porter, great balanced roastiness, some nice herbal hoppiness. Tasty chocolate flavor.

Aug 25, 2005 (Draft: Bend Brewing Company in Bend, OR) Roasted coffee and very chocolaty nose doesn’t predict the flavor, as the flavor is much less chocolaty than I was expecting. Rather, it’s roasty and smoky and reminiscent of smoked bacon. Only mildly sweet, the palate is fairly dry, but the medium body is a bit light for my kind of porter. Dark brown in color with ruddy highlights. Tan head gradually fades to a ring, but not before leaving a fair amount of patchy lacing on the glass. Along with their Old Ale, this is probably the best beer I’ve tried from Bend Brewery, but it’s also the only dark beer on the menu, so go figure.

Nov 3, 2006 Dark reddish brown, nearly black. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, hints of roast and coffee. Fairly sweet finish with a watery mouthfeel, medium bodied. Overall this came off as ’another’ porter and was one of the least interesting in the sample tray.
