Sockeye Power House Porter

On tap at the brewpub in Idaho. Pours a almost pure black color with a large white head and lots of lacing. The aroma was rich; roasted, almost smoky malts, chocolates and coffee. The flavor was great; a strong mix of coffee, chocolates and a powerful roasted malt. Lots of flavor. Very nice.

On tap at the brewery. Darker brown pour with a very retentive tan head. Light cocoa and gentle roast notes are on the nose. Tender cocoa notes blended with a mild roast and even hints at coffee come through on the flavor here. Medium bodied and quite smooth. Gentley carbonated. By far my pick of the 10 lot I had.

On tap at brewpub pours out a dark almost black topped with atan head. Nice aroma of roast and light coffee. A little bitter hop and some sweet. well done.

Best beer I had in Boise (out of 20 different brews in one day) Pure maltiness, very low texture, bery low mouth feel from assumed low carbonation. Excellent head retention and nice med-full body.

Beautiful dark body, nice head. Aromas of chocolate and coffee with some nice hops. Smooth, sweet, roasty, and slightly bitter.

Pours a deep brown with an ample tan head. Taste is rich with chocolate, coffee, and roastiness. There is also a medium amount of hop to finish. Solid porter.

On Tap at brewpub: Unless the server got it mixed up, this one tastes more like I expected the purple haze stout to be. Anyway, it is black with a brown head. The choco-mocha aromas are great as well as the aftertaste of burnt chocolate. The body is thin, but provides a creamy feel. Overall, the taste reminded me chocolate covered espresso beans and cardboard mixed together -- which actually tasted better than it sounds. I really liked it.

On Tap at the brewpub Very dark with a thin creamy tan head. Not very strong dark roast aromas and a rather faint smokey flavor as well. Thin smooth feel, not much hops and a littel biterness at the end. Not very robust but easy going down and fairly tasty
