3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draft in Billings. How can you see a name like this and not try it? Nothing really to say that isn’t in the "classic" porter description. For what it’s worth, it is a decent beer...fairly roasty, drinkable, and satisfying.

Draft at Legends, Great Falls. Opaque with a small head that lasts pretty well. Aroma is earthy molasses. Flavor is mostly the same with some slight smoke, coffee and chocolate. Palate is light-medium and watery.

On Tap in Great Falls, Montana. I thought it was well done if simple. Very dark in color but could have used more carbonation. Malty with clear hints of almonds and chocolate. Very nice balance and went down well.

I like this beer, but not as much as Harvest Moon Nut Brown. It tastes good, like a pig’s ass with a hint of smegma. mmmmmmmm good

Tap @ Bale of Hay Virginia City. Not much notes on this one but it was a good, clean, creamy smooth, tasty porter that was not too sweet. Into medium bodied. I wanted to get another the next day but the 30 beers in the microbrew fest kept me away.

Draft at bert and Ernie in Great Falls.
Pours dark brown with a nice head. Aromas of roasted malts and chocolate, flavors of coiffee, chocolate and more malts, hardly any hops noticeable.
Perhaps a tad too thin but still a nice beer.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at The Rhino pub in Missoula, MT
Dark brown/black color with an off-white head and light lacing. The nose is light with roast chocolate and a touch of coffee, more sweet and floral with hops and chocolate malt than the usual astringent stout-porters. The flavor is creamy with a light sweetness and moderate bitterness. Finishes smooth, a decent bite and a tangy finish. Good porter, only had a small sample of this before I had to go, so I might be better off trying a full pint in the future but I just couldn’t pass up a beer with a tap handle like this.

On draft @ The Belt Creek Brewpub when Harvest Moon had its brewery in the brewpub. Dark, reddish brown body. Hints of chocolate and roasted coffee. Roasty chocolate flavors slightly smokey. One of my favorite porters.
