Mt. Shasta Shastafarian Porter

Brewed by Mt. Shasta Brewing Company

Pours a two finger light tan head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Black color. Light carbonation and heavy bodied. Roasted/burnt coffee nose. Starts with a rich/burnt coffee flavor but some sweetness in background. Burnt coffee finish. Good porter. $1.55 for a 12oz bottle from John’s Market Tigard, Or.

Bottle:This has a nice mocha chocolate, somewhat milky nose; heavy dark chocolate and espresso roastiness, some very light acidic fruitiness, fairly bold flavors; mildly bitter finish without much hop character and a little on the sweet side; nice silky palate. Very good.

Bottle. Dark brown pour with a frothy and lasting light tan head. Deep chocolate and toffee aromas with some dark fruit notes. Medium bodied with big chocolate flavors along with tons of coffee notes. Musty, earthy notes.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Kenb. Very dark brown with big old head. Dissipates rather quickly. Nose not incredibly powerful-- a little hops, dark chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, and sweet malts. Flavor is roasted chocolate malts and faint coffee beans, finished with a touch of hops that leaves some bitterness on the palate. Overall a good beer, but leaves me wanting something more. Maybe because this is my first porter since tasting the Duck Rabbit Baltic Porter which kind of blew me away. In any case, thanks Ken!

Bottle. Pours a brown body with a tan creamy head. Light coffee roast, hints of caramel and dry mineral body. Hint of chocolate and lactose. Calcium and a dry coffee finish. Decent but i could do without the sour mild taint in the end.

Dark brown pour with frothy tan head. Bittersweet chocolate on the nose. Favor is chocolate, coffee, and roast. Slightly dry finish

A cool bottle thanks to footbalm. I guess they are going for a hippie/ weed smoker market, plus the brewer is in Weed, CA. Anyway, pours a dark brown with a thick black sludge, a medium brown head. The aroma is mostly coffee and sour notes. The taste is quite nice; a rich coffee and chocolate mix, some roasted malts, a hint of bitterness and nice smooth earthy finish. Very nice.
