Dec 1, 2007 Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Black color. Simple Ale, some sweet caramel flavor and not much more. Tasted side-to-side to the Stout it doesn’t have the same character.

Nov 19, 2007 Bottle: Dark brown pour with a small, rocky tan head. Crisp, dark malt based nose, some accents of chocolate and hazelnut. Medium-light body. Roasted chocolate malt flavor that is really clean and crisp. Mild hop notes in the finish round it out.

Nov 9, 2007 Had this on tap at PDX Stanford’s Grill. On tap, this is so much different than in the bottle. For a porter, it’s really refreshing. Poured with minimal head, dark black. Flavor was dark roasted malts, but very smooth. One of Deschute’s strengths is in the water - you can really taste it in this beer and it adds so much.

Nov 8, 2007 This porter pours with limited head and boasts a smooth taste. There’s just enough bitterness to make it an above average porter. Black Boss and Okacim are still superior.
