Apr 17, 2006 Draught Served... ON THE ROCKS?? Black, exept reddish where the ice floats; thick brownish head. Despite the ice, very present roasted, dry-kilned malts and grains, even a bit cigarette ash. And even the same in the taste. In fact, it only diminishes the beer, the beers served in most brewpubs in Washington were ice cold too. Cigarette ash, roasted - I get some restsweetness. MF: well,... iceslickness.
Is this serious, rating an iced beer? YES, IT IS! If the brewery/distributor/management lets its employees serve it this way, than it deserves no better!

Jul 7, 2003 Light smoke and chocolate aroma. Dark black with little head and no lacing, slightly oily. Flavor is very quiet with subtle notes of chocolate. Very astringent on the palate and an unimpressive porter. These guys make good amber, but that's it.
