COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is a black, medium-bodied, yet robust brew with a rich chocolate flavor and dry finish. The predominate flavor characteristic, that of smooth, dark, bittersweet cocoa, lingers on the palate from first pint to last. This is a hearty brew of seven varieties of malt, including Pale, Carastan, Crystal, Brown, Black, Munich, and an especially generous portion of Chocolate malt. Mudshark Porter gains its bitterness from Columbus hops, and its gentle hop flavor from a late addition of Willamette hops in the kettle.

bhensonb (7592) - Woodland, California, USA - JAN 17, 2011
Tap at Anthony’s at SeaTac. Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aromas of lightly burnt malt, light chocolate and maybe coffee. Flavor initially seems more coffee than chocolate, but with a little time it seems mostly chocolate. Reasonably bitter. Quite tasty.

Dark borwn and purple colored. Peppy, full bodied with a smoky and musty aroma, and an ash wood coating on the mouth. Some campfire wood smoke flavor and a semi-gritty texture. Very good all around porter, with a light cream and smoke nose.

2010-06-29. Black body with a small beige head. 3+ Flavour of dry roast with coffee overtones over a sweet malty core, hints at something like anise in the aftertaste. 7+ Mild aroma at first (served too cold) modest coffee roast, and mocha character as it warms. 6+ Smooth average plus palate. Decent porter, but the coffee notes are a turn off for me personally. On tap at Fishbowl pub, Olympia
