Commercial Description:
This is a black, medium-bodied, yet robust brew with a rich chocolate flavor and dry finish. The predominate flavor characteristic, that of smooth, dark, bittersweet cocoa, lingers on the palate from first pint to last. This is a hearty brew of seven varieties of malt, including Pale, Carastan, Crystal, Brown, Black, Munich, and an especially generous portion of Chocolate malt. Mudshark Porter gains its bitterness from Columbus hops, and its gentle hop flavor from a late addition of Willamette hops in the kettle.

A very nice, chocolatey, velvety porter with a soft mouthfeel. Tantalizing head. Characterful roasted malt flavors and lingering aftertaste that beckons more.

draft @ the taphouse grill - jet black with thick tan head; mild aromas lead to pleasant malty and roasted flavors; drinks oh so smooth; a very nice porter

Smells bad. Taste is sweet, thin and chocolaty, but not in any way that’s enjoyable. One of the few disappointments here at the new Taphouse in Seattle.

Draft at the Issaquah (Rogue) Brewhouse. My 200th Washington beer. Cool! Pours deep, nearly opaque black, with just some flotsam and jetsam floating around for a head. Very restrained nose, almost pointlessly so--just a slight whiff of chocolate and roast. Big grainy body for a porter, with active carb and roasty sweet assertive flavors. Rich, satisfying mid-palate and a roasty, faintly resinous finish that sticks to your ribs a bit. I can’t remember if it’s quite this good in bottles, but this is a dandy draft beer.
