Jul 1, 2008 Thanks to brewdad for giving me a chance to try this. Poured an opaque black. Aroma was faint chocolate. Taste was straight forward, some chocolate and a quick finish. This was fairly thin and weak.

Jun 14, 2008 Average porter...perhaps a bit below. Subtle aromas indicative of the style. Coffee and chocolate on the palate, along with lingering bitterness and chalkiness. Quite thin.

May 16, 2008 Bottle poured a clear dark brown with red highlights and a lasting tan head. Aromas of cocoa, coffee, light carmel and hints of vanilla and smoke. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of coffee, mocha and a hint of smoke with a smooth lingering bitter finish.

Apr 28, 2008 4/6/08 On draught at the Budd Bay Café. Aroma is light chocolate with some caramel sweetness, blended in roast character and light PNW hop flora. Appearance is copper brown with a moderate maintained off white head and good lacing. Flavor is rich with sweet caramel, light roast sourness, and low but noticeable bittering. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a low carb feel and medium creaminess. Overall, quite good, very easy drinking, and it’s just refreshing to try a porter for once that starts where browns leave off rather than pushing the limits of a stout.
