San Juan Starboard Porter

Brewed by San Juan Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Friday Harbor, Washington USA

Pacific Northwest Vacation 2007

8/26/2007: San Juan Starboard Porter is dark mahogany brown with a lasting thin beige crown. Only a faint trace of chocolate can be found in the aroma. The aroma and flavor are also VERY yeasty to the point that all other flavors are suffocated. The finish is dry with a slightly roasted flavor. This beer has a medium body and moderate carbonation but somehow is not very smooth! Overall this porter was a disappointment.

4 oz draught sample (4.2% Alc By Wt, #1039, OG 1.051, Brewed 7/19/2007) at the Front Street Ale House in Friday Harbor, Washington. Rating #2 for this beer...

Bomber [extremly short filled] poured a clear dark brown with a diminishing tan head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of coffee, hint of chocolate and roasted malt with a slightly roasty watery finish. My boss brought 2 bombers back and they were both short filled below the neck.
