Pours a deep black, brown body with a thin whitish head. Spicy, carbonic nutty and hoppy nose. Tingles the nostrils. Mildly metallic and malty with a big hop spiciness. Very nice NW Porter style. Crisp, clean, and refreshing.

Jan 22, 2008 Somewhat roasty, somewhat malty, somewhat coffee bean.... Overall it is extremely mild and non-offensive. Borderline boring. Faint hop finish - not smokey at all, not sure where they got that. Even fainter bitter chocolate. Mild and boring, not bad, but nothing daring or special.

Nov 7, 2007 12-oz. Black. Thick, moussy, quickly dissipating tan head. Nice webs of lace. Chocolatey, cocoa-y, chalky nose. Nice creamy high-medium body. Soft carb. Mild flavors on the mid-palate; chocolate for sure, maybe a little bit of roast. Tangy chalk in the finish. Not too shabby.

Nov 7, 2007 Nitro tap at the brewery on 7-22-2004.
Dry hopped version.
Pours a dark brown with minimal head. This was served pretty cold so the aromas were faint at first. When it warmed up it had a mild roasted malt smell along with a whiff of fresh floral hops. Light to medium bodied. Up front the taste was of toasted grains and bittersweet chocolate followed by a fairly strong floral hop bitterness not unlike an IPA. I guess thats what they were aiming for when they brewed this , a porter with pale ale qualities.
Good stuff.
