Port Townsend Brown Porter

Brewed by Port Townsend Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Port Townsend, Washington USA

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of Maria. Pours a hazy, orangey brown with a bubbly, dissipating, off-white head. Lightly nutty aroma. Medium body with a gigantic carbonation that I doubt was ever intentional. Roasted malt and nut accents. The finish is dry without much bitterness. More of a Brown Ale than a Porter really. 290308

22 fl oz bottle@fonefan/Brugmansia’s Cnudde tasting. Pours dark brown with a reddish hue and a crispy tan head. Light citric dry aroma with a minor roasted malt note, mild infection. Flavour is dry roasted malt with a light coffee note. Finish holds an initial light citric note and a solid bitter roasted flavour following. Nice roasted and mild lingering finish.

Dark brown with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with notes of roasted malt, coffee and caramel. Sweet flavor with notes of caramel and roasted malt and ripe fruits.

Slightly transparent brown/black with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, sweetness and berries. The flavour has sweetness, notes of coffee, roasted malt, a touch of berries and a very low bitterness, that develops further in the long finish, where a bit of coffee and toffee tursn up. Thank you to After4ever/Tom for this one!

22oz bottle. Poured a deeper brown color with red edges and an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of light roast, nutty, citrus and cardboard. Tastes of sour and tart fruitiness. Hmmm, I just got this bottle too...

Dark demi-murky brown with some light brown color at the edges of the glass. Medium sized tan head. Sweet sugar glazed bread (donuts?) and coffee scented. Semi-rich texture, first taste is sweet coffee and dry stout-ish malts, second taste over the tongue is very rich toffee, bourbon, dry malts and robust bread crust and chocolate. Very good stuff, very balanced. A highlight from this brewery.
