Oregon Trail Ginseng Porter

Brewed by Oregon Trail Brewery
Style: Porter
Corvallis, Oregon USA

Draft @ KLCC Microbrew Festival: Dark brown pour with a smaller tan head. Aroma is roasty malt and spices. Hint of dandelions. Flavor is roasty and spicey. Lots of florals and herbs goin on here. I think I just figured out I don’t care for the taste of ginseng.

On tap at Olde World Deli in Corvallis, OR--Poured a brown body with a small off-white/beige head. Noe of raosty malts and spicy medicinal roots. Dry nutty mouthfeel with an astringent finish. This beer is uniquely delectable. Yum!

On tap at the deli. Pours brown with a thin tan head. Aromas of roasted malt. Flavor is dry with a unique herbal quality, must be the ginseng. Nice brew.

Draft-Party Pig from Belmont Station, a gift, a nice gift. Large brown head atop deep brown w/ red highlight body. Smoky, roasted coffee, chocolate alcoholic aromas. Creamy body, mocha finish with a little molasses.

This brew pours an opaque black color. The haed is two-fingers in height, and tan in color, but recedes fairly quickly. The aroma is amazing. Chocolate, cream, cookie dough. The taste is great too. It is not huge, but it is flavorful. It is sweet and creamy, but with a nice bitterness that keeps it from being too sweet. The mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with ample carbonation. Overall, this is a really good brew.Didn’t notice the Ginseng but thats OK godd brew

A little known stand out at the brew fest, super chocolate nose, black body big tan head, huge mocha flavor, and delightfuly creamy

This was interesting, a slightly sinewy and grainey texture. Great porter flavors, rich and roasty with some coffee creaminess. The ginseng is not really in the flavor profile, but it does give you a little bit of a boost.
