Mar 21, 2003 Rocky tan head. Deep brown with hints of red in coloring. Rocky lace (not much and quickly disappearing). Slightly smoked malt aroma, not too pungent. Flavor is lacking body. It is too "thin" for a porter.

Mar 5, 2003 Pours with a dark brown body topped by a thin quickly disappearing head with a little lace left behind. Slightly sweet malty aroma with a very slight roasted coffee character. Slightly smokey malt flavor with a touch of hoppiness. The finish is smokey and malty. Full bodied and relatively smooth with dry notes.

Mar 2, 2003 Updated: May 10, 2006Rerate Still a decent Porter: thick black pour, decent mocha head, coffee aroma, dark chocolate and coffee flavor; average mouthfeel. Original 3.5 Decent macro-micro Porter. Kind of a hoppy aroma - not much of a head to the pour. Dark, licorice like appearance. No chalky aftertaste, kind of "oily" - the way I like my Porters. Hint of coffee undetones throughout. Holds up well through the whole 12 oz.

Feb 27, 2003 On nitro draught: No aroma to speak of. Creamy mouthfeel. Nice mellow chocolate/roast balanced flavour. Thick, coating palate. I like.

Feb 14, 2003 I went to the brewhouse in Woodinville, WA about 6 months ago. They happened to have this as one of the 2 cask conditioned brews. Served at a pleasant temperature (not cold), this brew was just tremendous!
I have yet to try in the bottle so my rating is probably not accurate. But, if you happen to be in the NW, check out Red Hook in Woodinville to see what they have on CASK!

Feb 11, 2003 Nice color...but where's the head? Aroma is typical porter...nothing special or bad about it. Flavor was nice, smooth, and has a good aftertaste...it exceeds the level of aroma and appearance. But, this beer is still only average as porters go.
