Oct 5, 2003 For me this was Perfect. Smooth & Chocolately. Start to finish. I think this is the best of the three MacTarnahans I've had yet.

May 11, 2004 Dark as hell with a creamy head. This stuff was bad ass. I liked it about as much as Anchor Porter.

Jan 31, 2006 Without a doubt my favorite beer for everyday drinking. This one has a great color, great taste and smooth finish. I was worried when I moved away from Oregon that I wouldn’t find this again. Thank God for good distributors. Even named my dog after this one, akc registered Mactarnahn Blackwatch.

Sep 13, 2007 I grabbed two bottles of this brew at a local store...I usually don’t when trying a new brew, unless the style is appealing to me. This being a "cream porter" I tried it. I am happy that I bought (2) of them, I drank them back to back. Here is my review:
Presentation: 12 oz short/stubby bottle. Nice lable, no freshness date found.
Aroma: The aroma was unlike a chocolate porter in smell. The roasty nuttiness of the malt was presant.
Appearance: The brew poured a very dark brown with ruby edges where very little light poured in. It poured a nice two finger light tan head that produced nice lacing through the session.
Flavor: This is what really stood out for me. The creaminess of the carmel and toffee flavor was a delight. The malt was very strong but not overpowering by the roasted taste to it.
Mouthfeel: No carbonation that I could tell. Low mouth feel.
Overall Impression: This is one of my favorites so far, out of the ones that you can get locally here in Oregon. I would drink this brew occasionally...if not weekly.

Mar 22, 2004 This is an absolutely awesome cream porter. Delicious notes of creme soda, coffee, and chocolate. Bitter finish. Just lovely!

Feb 13, 2004 Updated: Aug 24, 2009I really love this beer! The wonderfully distinct coffee aftertaste keeps me happy long after I finish the glass.

This is a very, very delicious beer. One of my favorites. If youre a stout/porter drinker such as myself, then you will probably love this

Nov 1, 2002 This brewery has a remarkable ability to wring delicious beers out of otherwise ordinary ingredients. Their Zig Zag Lager is amazing and this porter is also terrific! A light, session porter for beginners who are new to the style. Creamy and deliciously drinkable. Just terrific.
