Sampled a pint of this one on draught at the brewpub in Bend, OR. This beer pours to a deep brown to black color, with a thick, white head, and a moderate carbonation. The nose is very nice on this beer, with good aromas of chocolate malts, coffee, light roast, and piney hops. The palate is soft, with good dark chocolate and coffee flavors, with light estery notes of currants, and light roast. This beer finishes with good dark chocolate and coffee flavors, then end roasty, with a piney hop bite that lingers on the tongue. Nice, easy drinking, social pint of porter. Good beer to relax with at the bar, and a nice beer to match with the pub grub on the menu.

Jul 13, 2008 On tap at the Bend pub. Oh yeah, Baby. Pours opaque with medium sized frothy tan head. Nice roasty, malty flavor with coffee notes. Creamy mouth feel. Piney hops kick in for a smooth bitter finish. Yum. I should drink more porters.

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.
