Dark brown color. Small white foamy head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malts and cinnamon. A light to medium bodied porter. Malts are chocolate and coffee. Hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Slightly spicy and bitter hops. The cinnamon flavors are kind of prevalent, it’s not a bad porter, but the cinnamon flavors make it kind of weird Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Red-black body with tan head. Aroma is medium sweet, roasty, cinnamon, light chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, roasty, cinnamon, light chocolate. Watery light-medium body.

Bottle pours black with dark brown hues, nice tannish foamy head, with fairly decent lacing.     Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate.   Minor roasted malt flavor up front, slight apple tinge too.   Fairly simple finish, roasted malts.   Fairly straight forward Porter, nothing exciting or spectacular... but not bad either.   However, rather watery on the finish.   Neither full bodied or complex.   Oh, I know

Nice dark color with a tan head. Roasted aroma. Taste was nice with roasted flavors and a hint of chocolate. Very thin taste in the mouth though.

Very bland and un-interesting generic porter... light in body, abrupt flavor profile

Bought this in the brown 12 oz bottle ..no best by date. Poured the beer it was dark brown but no head to speak of..very average. Smell was Ok I picked up some burnt malt some coffee..run of the mill porter smells. This did not taste like a good porter at all..way too light and too much carbonation . not good mouthfeel for a porter thin and bubbly..not good Its drinkable but I doubt I would buy this again..not a good porter at all.

Pours black with brown edges. Chocolate aroma with some roast. Small burnt taste, with some chocolate. Creamy palate.

This was an example of what could be a fire - roasted porter. A bit of a burnt taste, but in a good way, toasted in the malt taste with very little hops, slightly sweet in the aftertaste with nothing really else to offer.

Burnt chocolate aroma, very subtle. Great double finger tan head with sticky lacing. Dark brown/ruby color. Flavor is very smokey with a caramel & chocolate aftertaste, very yummy, but not very complex. Palate is bitter and astringent. Overall it's surprisingly good for a house porter from Fred Meyer.

oily molasses nose. thin feel, with a lot of sugar. no hops, no complexity, no good
