Commercial Description:
A dark brown color, with a balanced aroma of roasted malts and Northwest-grown hops. The sweetness of the ale, crystal, and chocolate malts blend beautifully with the assertive flavors of Cascade and Mt. Hood hops.

I am a fan of most of Pelican’s brew, but this is one that I will not be tasting again. Nothing really wrong with it, just that if I am going to spend money on a brew I would choose from the others that they have on tap. The brew was way too hoppy for me. But, then it is a good representation of the style.

Draft at the Pelican. Clear darkish brown color with beige head. Aroma of toasted malt with stone fruit. Toasted malt with stone fruit to start. Background of a darker, porter style toasted malt. Finish is fruit, light toasted malt, very light, but little bitter. Still, it’s very good to drink.

Bottle sampled on 1/4/07: Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a thin ring of off-white head. Aroma of toasty grainy malt with some toffee notes and mildly piny hops. Body starts lightly sweet, earthy and dark caramely malty with some bittering, blander hoppy character. A pretty standard brown ale.

On tap at Belmont Station in Portland, Off white small head lingered above a deep amber/dark brown body. Sweet and malty flavor with a NW hopped bite. Malts were definitely of quality with a hint of chocolate. If this is a brown ale, more browns need to step it up.

Pour ends up medium/dark amber with a pretty good sized foam head that lasts quite a while. The smell is a bit weak for a dark ale, but it makes up for it n the taste. All around good flavors, and VERY smooth to put down.

The beer poured a clear dark copper color with a beige head. The aroma was sweet and malty with notes of toffee and light hops at the finish. Sweet toasty malt flavor. Mild bitter finish.
