Jul 4, 2008 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.

Jun 26, 2008 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. :-(

May 11, 2008 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!

Mar 28, 2008 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.
