Commercial Description:
Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate. This is the best way to describe Monkey Face Porter. It is a medium bodied porter with significant chocolate malt characteristics. But don’t let the dark color scare you. This beer finishes extremely dry with a hint of the Willamette hops used to create this perfectly balanced porter. Monkey Face Porter is perfect after a long day at the mountain or on the river!

Tastes thin, smells wan, everything about the damn thing is just weak. It lost its only appeal when they changed from the amazing old label too.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Nice, but kinda average and thin brew.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. A bit of a weak aroma, with some chocolate and malt. Thin taste also, with roasted barley/chocolate flavor, verging on the side of too sweet for me. I think this beer misses the balance between malts and hops. This brew won’t scare anyone away, since it has such a light body to it, and no one would accuse it of being heavy. I’m not anxious to run out and get more of it.

Visited brew pub in Bend, OR. Pours opaque with tan head. Delicious coffee, malt, roast flavors. Very smooth. Maybe a bit thin, but a very decent porter.

Oh damn, the aroma on this is considerably like Baba Booey’s breath. You know, that gingivitisy, awful stench that makes you think of solid human waste. I don’t advise taking a whiff of this one when drinking it, even if the rest of it is okay. Oh my god, yuck. :-(

From a bottle at Belmont Station--Poured a dark brown body with a rich tan two-finger beige head. Spicy, sweet, liquorish nose with a decent hop presence. Quite clean on the palate, good carbonation level, and well-balanced malt sweetness to bittering finish. Yum!

Bottle. Pours opaque, nearly black, with a thin light brown head. Dark chocolate and smoke aroma. Ratebeer sez "Porters are often confused with stouts." Gee, I wonder why! Light-ish body and medium carbonation. Lightly sweet taste, with a bit of chocolate and coffee. Lightly bitter dry finish with a little espresso and just a smidge of pine.
