Sep 23, 2008 On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Pours dark brown with a smooth light beige head. Smooth body with a coffee finish. Dark bakers chocolate and coffee give a nice character to this beer. Felt a bit high in the carbonation realm leaving it too dry and breaking up the palate to much, but the malt profile was nice.

Apr 12, 2008 Poured at the firken fest, labeled porter from bourbon aged oak, dark brown to black with a small tan head. Nose had a bit of oak with roasted grain and coffee. The flavor has a lot of malt up front with caramel, bourbon, coffee and chocolate. The finish is bittersweet with a lot of roasted graininess. Overall the flavors were quite good but a little disjointed. The finish was almost out of place.
