Served cold from tap. Pours a really nice looking dark brown with a tan head that thinned out rather quickly. Smells chocolate, maybe some roasted malts or coffee? Flavor consists of malts and chocolate. It was quite smooth. A nice porter.

Oct 6, 2008 I thought this was just a little heavy on the black patent malt. A tad too roasty for me, but a good porter nonetheless.

Oct 5, 2008 This is a darn good porter, pours black/red, nice tan head, smoky chocolate/coffee taste... with a bit of a woodsy aftertaste, will buy again, good stuff! Cheers!

Sep 27, 2008 Pours black with a tan head. Very heavy carbonation. Aroma is of malt, caramel, and dark fruit. Creamy mouthfeel. Doesn’t taste much like a porter. It’s very sweet with hints of fruit and caramel malts. Lingering taste of weak coffee. Very drinkable, and worth drinking again.

Sep 26, 2008 Great smoky and chocolate taste. By fare and away one of the best beers from Deshutes, and best porter for the price. Only a moderate ABV, but full bodied and substantial.
