spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA Sep 4, 2008 Pours dark brown with med. brown head and lacings. Nice cocoa hoppy aroma. Bitter chocolate taste. Very smooth and an easy drinker. Need to do a side-by-side with Deschutes Black Butte Porter which I consider a benchmark porter. This version is really good. Recommended.
kmweaver (2396), Sebastopol, California, USA Aug 30, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of Schutzenliesel. Thanks, Tom! Pours a hazy, dark chocolate brown color; thin light-tan head with patchy lacing. Lots of nougat, raw peanuts, and some funky, chocolatey cardboard; odd. Medium mouthfeel: chewy nougat, bitter chocolate, and oily peanuts; relaxed carbonation; oily, filling and pleasant overall; tasty save for the nose. Medium finish: dry, toasty malts, and dark chocolate. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Aug 27, 2008 Dark brown pour with frothy tan head. Bittersweet chocolate on the nose. Favor is chocolate, coffee, and roast. Slightly dry finish jake65 (1658), Williston, North Dakota, USA Aug 24, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown pour with a thick and creamy brown head. Nose is rich with roast and chocolate. Some light bitters. Taste is heavy in the roast with coffee and cocoa. Basic offering for a porter and well done at that. thanks Jeremy. IndianaRed (1553), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 24, 2008 Dark nearly opaque black. Nice full tan head. Good roasted light coffee aroma.
Moderate roasted flavor and some coffee again
A touch of that dr sour note that comes with the stlyle.
Very good over all.
pinkzambia (986), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 24, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown with a light brown frothy head. Choco aroma abounds. Usual charcoal, burnt flavors with a bit of tanginess following it. Thin feel and a solid brew. Time to head to Weed. BuckeyeBoy (1645), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 24, 2008 Bottle Pours out a black with a little red topped with a nice tan head. Aroma of malt and a touch of green olive. Tast roast malt and some nice bitter coffee. A solid porter ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA Aug 22, 2008 Darker colored. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, caramel, moderate to low hops. Medium to light bodied, lightly sweet. It’s ok but nothing stands out about it.
