Dragon99 (57), Laramie, Wyoming, USA Nov 3, 2001 Nice aroma. Smooth flavor. Sweet aftertaste. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Sep 22, 2002 I had this down at Kell’s in Portland. I wasn’t expecting much, and the Murphy’s I was drinking was doing the trick just fine. I thought I would just go for another rating. This is possibly one of the best porters I’ve had. Great roasted malt taste with appropriate hops balance. I can tell a lot of work went into this beer. Sadly, I believe this beer will probably go under the radar to most beer lovers who drink in Oregon. AxeMaster221 (343), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 23, 2002 Have to agree with you Murph (portlandrunk). Just took a little 4 day swing over to Central Oregon, and stopped at Mt. Hood Brewing on the way. This poured a deep brown, with a tannish head. Nice malty aroma, sweet flavors, but not overpoweringly so. A slightly fruity middle, and small bitter finish make this a top notch porter. Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA Mar 19, 2005 Brown with mahogany edges. Tan head and stringy lace. Smoke and chocolate in the nose as well as some raost. Light and underlying tones of smoke in the flavor. Chocolate and roast accompany that. Finishes smoky and full of chocolate. I love smoked beers such as this. BrewDad (1711), Olympia, Washington, USA Aug 29, 2005 Great Smoked Porter. Wow this beer had some flavor. I really liked the balance of this beer and the strong overall flavor. The complexity of the flavors where really good. I would rink this beer again. WOW Great job!
