Fire Station 5 Pike Pole Porter

Brewed by Portland Brewing Company (Pyramid)
Style: Porter
Portland, Oregon USA

Deep brown, thick beige head.Slightly astringent light roasty nose.Chocolate and light roast taste with burnt bitterness in the end

roasty, spicey aroma, some citrus, quite earthhy and pleasent, actually; the thin palate holds a barely decent, woody, charcoal, molasses and licorice tinted flavor; the nose is much better than the somewhat muted, though not entirely simple palate, and it’s certainly better than anticipated

Bottle Pours a very dark brown with a light tan head with coarse bubbles. Only spotty lacing is observed. Some dark roast and chocolate aromas are here and a bit sweet and some hops too. Smokey dark wood flavor but thin and simple. Watery and "cheap" feeling. Left with a slight bitter reminder of what it could have..should have been. A bit of a dissapointment for a style that I always have higher hopes for.

Dark brown color. Small white foamy head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malts and cinnamon. A light to medium bodied porter. Malts are chocolate and coffee. Hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Slightly spicy and bitter hops. The cinnamon flavors are kind of prevalent, it’s not a bad porter, but the cinnamon flavors make it kind of weird Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Red-black body with tan head. Aroma is medium sweet, roasty, cinnamon, light chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, roasty, cinnamon, light chocolate. Watery light-medium body.

Bottle pours black with dark brown hues, nice tannish foamy head, with fairly decent lacing.     Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate.   Minor roasted malt flavor up front, slight apple tinge too.   Fairly simple finish, roasted malts.   Fairly straight forward Porter, nothing exciting or spectacular... but not bad either.   However, rather watery on the finish.   Neither full bodied or complex.   Oh, I know

Nice dark color with a tan head. Roasted aroma. Taste was nice with roasted flavors and a hint of chocolate. Very thin taste in the mouth though.

Very bland and un-interesting generic porter... light in body, abrupt flavor profile
