Commercial Description:
Olde Bongwater Hemp Porter was named by Kevin Head at The Rhino, a bar in Missoula. He originally wanted the beer as a house beer. It was such a hit, that others started asking for it. Now, you can find it in bars across western Montana. Some have criticized us of glorifying marijuana or giving hemp a bad image. We intend to do neither. Taste it & you’ll agree - it is GOOD!

A very simple beer. From a can. Black color. The aroma is simple roasted malt, and the flavor is lightly roasted with only a hint of coffee. No flaws at least.

Poured a deep opaque black, slightly brown color with a one-finger tan head. Light in flavor yet with some deep chocolate and coffee malt notes also apparent in the mouth. Full mouth roastiness quite delectable from the can.

Thanks to skyview for sharing. One of the better beers from Kettle House that he provided. Nice roasted malt and faint coffee aroma. Solid roasted malt body.

Many thanks to the king of the west, Skyview. Black color with a thick head. Roasted malt aroma and fairly herbal. Strong roasted malt flavor with what I would only assume to be a big hemp flavor, not that I’ve chewed on a lot of hemp leaves in my life... Bitter finish. Dang tasty.

Dark brown with a tan head and lacing. Strong roasted coffee and bitter hops aroma. Some cocoa. The flavor is a mocha mix that I just love in porters. Roasty and beautiful. Great beer.

Draught at the Brewpub: Dark black, tan head, good lacing. Nose of light roast, just a faint hemp note, maybe it’s just in my mind. The flavor is rich with cocoa and chocolate, sweet mocha roast and light lactose. Chewables in the finish. Good.

(gabf 2003) Thankfully, this porter lacks any of the disgusting taste of actual bongwater. Not that I’ve ever indulged in some shinanigans involving an apparatus that may contain bongwater and accidently inhaling a bit too hard. But this porter has toffee flavors with chocolate and coffee. Not very interesting.

GABF '03. Love the name, didn't care for the beer. Too light in taste in my opinion to be a decent porter.
