3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Bier Stein. Dark brown pour with fluffy tan head. I could smell the coffee wafting out of this one from 10 feet away as my server brought it to me. Not much depth to the aroma beyond that, a light earthen note perhaps, but that coffee scent is certainly inviting. The flavor is a little more complex, with some traces of nuttiness and a little bit of roasted malt. Not a super beer, but a solidly crafted one that I enjoyed.

Draught. Pours black with thin beige head Moderate lacing Aroma is balanced roast and coffee. Coffee and roast malt in flavour but balanced, I feared that the coffee would overwhelm it, and it does not. Bit of hop in the finish

Tap - Fort George Brewery - Astoria, OR
Dark brown in color, clear with a thin head.
Dark roast coffee beans, chocolate and roast malt aroma and flavor. Thin tobacco finish with a subtle bitterness. Nice porter could use more roast and chocolate flavors.

2010-06-28. Very dark brown body with a nice beige head and lace. Modest aroma, dry roast over muted sweet malt. 6+ Flavour is similar, modest dry roast, sweeter malt base than expected from the aroma. 6+ Smooth average palate is nice but lighter than my preference for a porter. 3+ Decent. On tap at Fort George, Astoria

Tap @ their brewpub... Poured dark brown, near opaque with a frothy, tan head. Lots of coffee with a big roast and a dark, malt sweetness that then turned out a tamed nuttiness.
