Mar 18, 2008 Draft at d.b.a. Dark brown pour with a little head. Aroma is roasted / lightly burnt malt (almost smoked) and chocolate malt. Flavor is similar with a slightly creamy mouthfeel and the burnt / roasted malt dominating. Nicely done for a standard porter.

Mar 17, 2008 Not a fan of dark beers, but I read up on Stouts and Porters (couldn’t find a definitive difference bewteen the two) before comparing SN Stout and SN Porter head to head today in honor of St. Pat’s. This is simply no contest. If you like this style, SN Stout is head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees above this subpar offering in every way. Overcarbonated, watery, and lacking in character and complexity. What more can I say? Very nearly a drain pour.

Mar 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Medium brown with mammoth frothy slowly disappearing head. Roasted malt aroma. It looks like a root beer float! Rich malty taste with a mild bitter aftertaste. Head sticks to the side of the glass in clumps. Not much in terms of flavor variation, a so-so effort.

Mar 11, 2008 Updated: Mar 17, 2008One of my old standbys, I love this one. Roasty, a nice bit of caramel malt, creamy mouthfeel, assertive yet balanced hopping. Chocolatey nose, sweetness gives way to the nugget bitterness quickly. Lingering roastiness like I just had an espresso. So delicious- I have many associated memories attached to this beer from the past 10 or 15 years. A benchmark for the west coast US style porter, consistency endures at this brewery, I hope they brew forever.
