3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma of dark roasted malt with hints of chocolate and smoke. Opaque black/brown color with a vigorous and substantial tan head. Near full bodied with coarsely creamy carbonation. The flavor is dark toasted malt and has fruit over chocolate roast malt. Seems to be floral hop and a bit of smoke. Almost crisp! The finish is lightly sweet with some floral hop to balance. All the while toasted malt lurks in the background. It’s not all that simple a drink. Very good.

On tap at Elysian Fields. Pours dark with minimal head. Smell is roasty chocolate, coffee. Taste is bold roast and a sweet finish. Very good porter.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Paradiso Georgetown. The pour is clear deep ruby looking near black in the glass with a medium, tan head leaving impressive sticky, webby lace. Nose is savory with small beef broth, heavy chocolate milk. Nothing too obvious but certainly not bad. Taste is richer than expected for 5.4% with chocolate ice cream and vanilla along with some creamy slickness in the finish like cream topped real yogurt. Thin palate overall.
I think it’s time Elysian hired a new graphic designer.

Draught at St. Augustine, Vancouver
Black color; creamy, beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, some yeast. The mouthfeel is quite smooth, with strong flavor of heavily roasted malts, but also a delicate fruity vein to provide some balance and complexity; the bitterness is quite strong, suspected mostly from the roasted malt; the late final gets a bit ashy.
Pleasant.

Draught@Elysian Fields, Seattle
Dark opaque black color, steady beige head, lots of lace. Coffeish, toasted aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Smooth palate. Sweetish milk chocolaty flavor, lingering roasted coffee in the aftertaste. Well-brewed porter.

A great representation of a porter. The pour is a beautiful brown. Brown sugar and roasted / caramel malts. A nice chocolate dry flavor. A nice medium body.
Good.

On draft at elysian. Black with dark tan head. Slightly thick mouth but malt profile really shines, highlighted but not dominated by roasted malts. Discernable hop character for a porter.
