It poured brown, not black. Fairly thin seeming, and a decent. Active medium off-white head. Malty and light sweet coffee aroma. Nice carbonation and fairly roasty dark flavors to follow the nose. Not huge, but quaffable. Will enjoy a couple more from the rather inexpensive six-pack.

Thanks to ghawener. Wow! This porter is amazing. Pours almost pitch black with a creamy, tan, head. Medium bodied, full taste of chocolate, coffee and dark caribbean rum. Very well balanced, perfect.

Dark ruby red with dense tan head. Roasty aroma that comes through in the taste. Coffee notes but not overly burnt or dry. Creamy on the tounge. Well balanced and very tasty

On tap a lot of places around Portland.
Really great porter. Chocolate, coffee and dark smoke notes. Great hop balance around the dark flavors. A great, classic, solid porter that you can never go wrong with.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Nice porter. Black colored brew. Roasted malts, chocolate, coffee in aroma and flavor. Balanced bitterness and smooth and creamy. Nice.
