Elysian Perseus Porter

Brewed by Elysian Brewing Co.
Style: Porter
Seattle, Washington USA

Draft at the Elysian Fields brewhouse. Pours deep opaque black with a thin but determined off-white head. Unfortunately this one has another pretty vacant nose. Moderate and creamy attack. Nice roast and chocolate mid-palate, but nothing overly forceful. Very light and slightly peppery hop clinging in the finish. When food comes alongside and this beer has to go head-to-head, the mid-palate fairly well disintegrates into flavorlessness. Nice enough, though.

Pours black in color with a tan head. Chocolate nutty and sweet nose. Chocolate, molasses, some bitterness seeming to become more bitter and darker in flavors (molasses and dark chocolate) as it warms up. Easy to drink and a once again a decent beer.

Thank you Tom (After4ever) for this very nice porter, that has a lot of flavour and a low ABV. It’s black-brown with a tan, creamy head. The aroma has notes of chocolate and roasted malt. The flavour is smooth, nice and relatively light - but yet full-bodied and nice - and above all: It’s uncomplicated and very charming. it has light sweetness, light chocolate, coffee and licorice and a rather nice bitter finish. A nice surprise! 2053

This is just an awesome porter, very heavy stout like build, smooth on the palate with a heavy weight to it. Pours black with a tall tan head. Very roasty chocolate flavor with a dry cocoa and bakers chocolate finish. Good balance with the hops. Just a realy well made beer.

Bottle courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a very dark ruby-brown with an average size diminishing tan head. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, chocolate, hops and a hint of coffee. Flavour’s a little roasty with some chocolate and a good amount of floral hops and a short bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty good Porter, I easily drank a bomber and would gladly have it again.

22 oz bomber that I picked up at Sams for 4 bucks. Although I haven’t been super impressed with Elysian, they aren’t bad brews and are at a good price. This one is no different. Pours black in color with a tan head. Chocolate nutty and sweet nose. Chocolate, molasses, some bitterness seeming to become more bitter and darker in flavors (molasses and dark chocolate) as it warms up. Easy to drink and a once again a decent beer.

Taster at Tangle Town Brew Pub
A dark brown nectar from the brewing gods. This was a great porter. Loved the rich deep chocolate malts and the slight use of hops to balance it out. A tasty drink for all.

Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Pours black with medium tan head. Nice tan lacing also. A real nice looking pour. Aroma is chololate, malts and faint hops. As it warms the aroma seems to get more milky. Flavor is roasted bitter malts, cocoa, light smoke and light hops in the finish. Body was just a tad thin but overall it was pretty damn good.
