Elliot Glacier Baseline Porter

Brewed by Elliot Glacier Public House
Style: Porter
Parkdale, Oregon USA

On tap at the Elliot Glacier Public House. Colour... reminiscent of molasses and no head. Nose... sweetly malty, some hops and brown sugar. Palate... gentle carbonation, roasty malt, light bodied coffee, dark chocolate and a lengthy, roasted finish.

Tap @ their Public House... Poured deep, almost black with amber highlights and a light, light brown head. Roasted aroma with licorice and amaretto notes. Probably one of the strongest brews in the lineup from Elliot Glacier. Fizzy, dry palate. Smoked characters with roasted chocolate and malt notes. Almost stout-like despite it’s light color.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a black color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty chocolate and coffee aroma. Roasted malty fruity chocolate and coffee flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate finish.

Pours quite dark, with just the slightest hint of ruby highlights and an ample creamy off-white head. Rich, roasty aroma with hints of caramel and cocoa. Milk chocolately and kind of under roasted. Malts are slightly out of balance, with some bittering hops coming through in the finish.

Dark chestnut colour. Light chocolate and nutshell aroma. Thin body, with cutting roastiness, light nuts and a hint of chocolate late.

A very unimpressive porter, compared to the others that I have tried and liked. Slightly sour and fruity with some tartness going on. Malt profile is overly sweet and roasty. Poorly made and way too light for waht I look for in this style.

Dark brown with some rusty red hues at the bottom. Smells and tastes like a typical porter american-style: some light coffee and chocolate, tinny sweet malt notes, and some maple perhaps. Light, watery, simple.

Brown with ruby edges and a brown head. Spotty lacing. Chocolate aromas with some bitter roast. Chocolate again in the flavors along with roast. I find a bit of sourness in this one as well.
