UPDATED: AUG 11, 2021 A very pleasant tasting Porter. You can taste how perfectly it was brewed. Not too strong, which is what I was expecting from a “Powerhouse”.

UPDATED: AUG 1, 2021 On tap @ Sockeye. Dark brown beer, approaching black, with some khaki foam. Pleasant roasted malts, toffee, coffee, and cocoa. Nicely sweet with a little bit of roasted malt and coffee bitterness. Light floral and earthy hops. Maybe a little bit light in body, but not a huge deal.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2019 Sampled at Great American Beer Festival 2019 in Denver, Colorado. Smooth, sweet, hints of coffee.

UPDATED: OCT 3, 2019 Roast and some caramel. Dark chocolate. Pours black with good head and lacing. Bittersweet finish.

12 oz can poured into a frosted pint glass. A delicious and classic Porter. Just perfect on this first seemingly chilly day of Autumn. Will be drinking more of these this Winter. Cheers!

Had reviewed two others from Sockeye back in 2013 and enjoyed them both, giving the original Dagger Falls a 4.04 and a special cranberry kolsch at 4.13. Also liked the Mango Dagger Falls (3.81) and Winterfest (3.88), which I also picked up on the trip. Poured a dark brown color with 1-to-2 fingers of khaki frothy head that thinned out quickly. A few bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. Good sporadic lacing. Very good retention. (Sight - 3.75) Smelled big roasty malts in espresso, dark chocolate, anise, semi-char wood, toast, roasted barley, dark cocoa powder and toasted toffee. (Smell - 3.75) Tasted a bit better than the nose, almost like a dark milk stout. Liked it. Got dark milk chocolate, espresso, cocoa nibs, chocolate syrup, roasty malts, toast, woody anise, hints of char wood and sweetly toasted toffee. (Taste - 4.25) Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, roasty finish. (Feel - 4.00) Really liked this one. Would like to have some more. (Overall - 4.00) 4.03 90 A-
