Kind of a flat-looking dark brown. Creamy, coffeeish aroma is fairly by-the-numbers. Not a ton going on palate-wise either. A simple coffee-accented standard porter.

(12oz bottle) Clear cola body with a small tan head. Aroma is medium sweet, milk chocolate, cocoa. Taste is medium sweet, milk chocolate, some roast, light cola. Medim body, light acidity.

Sampled draught at Cascade Lakes Lodge, Bend
Black color, light brown edges & a thin layer of lacing. Nose of sweet candied mocha, licorice & roast. Flavor has a brief astringency but stays in the sweet roast realm 90% of the time. Finishes mochaish & roast with chocolate & coffee

Pitch black. Creamy toasted bread and smoked bran. Good thick palate, mild flavors overall... mild and light toasted malts, creamy coffee. Good, but not complex.

Bottle from Steve and served in my GL snifter: Pours a deep brown and a small fading tan head and some lace. The aroma has notes of carmel, chocolate, and black malts; grassy and floral hops; and noticeable coffee. The flavor starts with a hit of sweet chocolate and roasted malt before a dose of bitterness that seem to be from both hops and coffee. Pretty well balance but not enough texture and is a tad overcarbonated. Overall, a workable porter and easy to drink, never boring.
