Aug 28, 2006 Nice black color,small but decent tan head with a good hang time that faded slowly to leave a bit of a lcae behind.The aroma was roasty with a nice chocoalte side and some hints of coffee,The flavor was nothing special but still fairly decent with a nice roasty malty taste backed up with a good showing from the chocoalte and coffee.Fairly smooth brew really and easy to drink,well worth trying a few more even if it’s nothing special.

Aug 23, 2006 Bottle... Pitch black ale with a large, frothy, lightly tanned head. Excellent retention. Only when I hold the glass in front of a strong halogen bulb do I see its true crimson color. Earthy, roasty nose with notes of chocolate, coffee grounds and charcoal. The flavor leans on the burnt, bitter side of balance. Medium to full-bodied with a scouring mouthfeel and meek carbonation. Lengthy, burnt, dry finish.

Aug 16, 2006 22 oz bottle. Large bubbly tan head with staying power, Beer pours a near black color. Mild aroma of chocoate, plums and raisins.
Medium bodied. Taste has roasted malt flavor and notes of chocolate, caramel and coffee. Nice smooth finish with a bit of a bold hoppy ’oompph’ at the end. Leaves a bittersweet licorice aftertaste that makes you yearn for the next sip. Pretty hoppy for a porter but what do you expect from the pACIFIC nORTHWEST? Over-all a winner and a BOLD porter.

Jun 30, 2006 Dark brown pour with a smaller tan head. Flavor is rich with coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt tastes. Aftertaste is a smooth chocolaty roasty feel, no real bitterness to speak of. Pretty basic recipe for a porter, but well done.
