Bottle: Heavy malts present with some bread tastes. I also noted some earthy flavors. It poured a large, frothy light-brown head that lasted most of the drink. The dark black color is attractive. Thanks to Indiana_Red for kickin it with me on this one.

Bear Creek Porter--2001 12 oz. Bottle. 5.00% ABV. (2.25 / 5.0 ) Light sediment. Huge carbonated head. Clear dark black red color. Medium lace. Mild toasted chocolate hop front. Crusty sweet roasted dry mild fruit body. Grassy hop notes in mild creamy end. Very odd flavor. Infected? Sampled 1/8/2002.

(12 oz bottle: Bottleworks in Seattle, WA) In every facet, this is rather light for a porter. The color is medium, ruddy brown and somewhat transparent. Not an especially flavorful beer, it’s only lightly roasty and bitter, somewhat toasty, and sports kind of a grainy, slightly sweet, amber-style maltiness. The nose is toasty and grainy and is even less thrilling than the flavor. Barely-medium body is very thin for a porter, and carbonation is about average. Smallish, light-tan head eventually settles out to a wide ring, leaving a few spots of lace on the glass. Below average for a porter, and by my tastes, pretty mediocre even for beer in general.

Black, tan head. Nice roasted nose. Lightly roasted flavor fades quickly. Underflavored

Dark brown with a quick diminishing tan head. Aroma is nutty, roasted and espresso beans. Nice roasted flavour to start, moves into a coffee like flavour and then ends with a nice darck chocolate bitterness. Medium body throughout.

Dark brown color with reddish hues and a small tan head. Nutty roast aromas. Light bodied with a watery texture. Flavors of roasted coffee and a hint of chocolate. Not bad but nothing terribly exciting.

Dark brown nearing black with a thin white head and big spots of lace. Sharp bitter notes of coffee and some underlying chocolate. There is a goodly amount of roast abundant. Very nice roast flavors. It has a bitter and sharp bite to it. Chocolate floats about but is just hinting at the surface. Silky smooth body with a bitter finish of roast.

On a side note, Jordan (Bück) is a pyscho.

Black shadows with a crimson face, short sandy hair with a clean shave. Definitely a coffee drinker with an taste for sweet fruits. Fairly well built but a little overweight. A bit of intelligence and a refined ego with a smoking habit.

Bottle Pours a dark clear brown witha nice tall light tan head and blocky, sticky lacing. A woody carmely aroma with notes of alcohol and chocolate. Flavor is very much wood, dark roasted grains and smoke.Where is the carbonation that made al that head. Nearly undetectable. Somewhat thin, but clean feel with a slightly bitter smokey aftertaste. Not bad, but not great.

Bottle, Chocolate nutty nose. Clean orangy reddish crown color. Small white head that left a ring. Bitter roasty flavors. Chocolate, chalk, rootbeer. Lite body, creamy, smooth, dry. Not bad, liked the nose the best. weakened as it warmed.
