 BlackDonald (724), On a beer trip all over the USA, California, USA
Jul 19, 2008 Pours quite dark, with just the slightest hint of ruby highlights and an ample creamy off-white head. Rich, roasty aroma with hints of caramel and cocoa. Milk chocolately and kind of under roasted. Malts are slightly out of balance, with some bittering hops coming through in the finish.

Aug 2, 2006 Dark chestnut colour. Light chocolate and nutshell aroma. Thin body, with cutting roastiness, light nuts and a hint of chocolate late.

Jul 3, 2006 A very unimpressive porter, compared to the others that I have tried and liked. Slightly sour and fruity with some tartness going on. Malt profile is overly sweet and roasty. Poorly made and way too light for waht I look for in this style.

Jul 21, 2005 Dark brown with some rusty red hues at the bottom. Smells and tastes like a typical porter american-style: some light coffee and chocolate, tinny sweet malt notes, and some maple perhaps. Light, watery, simple.
Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA
Mar 19, 2005 Brown with ruby edges and a brown head. Spotty lacing. Chocolate aromas with some bitter roast. Chocolate again in the flavors along with roast. I find a bit of sourness in this one as well.
