Commercial Description:
A new world version of an old world classic. Dark in color and light in body, this beer combines 'big beer' complexity and 'session beer' balance. Charged with nitrogen, "Old 89" pours beautifully, with the distinctive cascading body transforming into a perfectly dense and creamy head. Like the classics, plenty of coffee and chocolate come through. Like the modern nitro versions, it finished amazingly soft and light for a dark ale.

For those with a zest for dark porters, the Pike Old 89 is a wise choice. Pours a dark amber-brown body with a handsome tan head. Described as a modern version of an old world beers, Old 89 heads out much like an English stout, while coming at you with rich coffee tonus and closing with a particularly malleable, lightsome finish.

Tap at brewpub. Good nose, choc/coffee/mocha. Little egg or salty too. Classic brown/ black color. Good head that faded. Sweet and bitter flavors, chocolate/ soap/ tinny. Thin bodied, sweet dry finish. Slightly off from a classic porter. Just alright.

hat this on tap and it was pretty good, I compare it as a tasty version of guniess. It was very creamy with decent lacing, and the taste was very full, very much a decent porter. I will go with this one again if I go back.
