Enjoyed this one on draught at the brewery in Everett, WA. Pours to a deep brown to black color, with a soapy, tan head, and a soft carbonation. The nose on this beer is very nice, with aromas of piney hops, paired with dark chocolate, and mild roast. The palate is soft and full on the palate with really good dark chocolate, coffee, and roasty flavor. This beer finishes with more good coffee, then ends with a dry, roasty, bitterness that lingers. Impressive porter, that makes for a great pint, and a natural with the sea food and pub grub dishes on Scuttlebutt’s pub menu. This beer was an excellent match with coconut shrimp, and I took a 22 oz bomber of this one away with me.

1 pint 6 oz. Bottle. Pours black with a small light brown head that dimiinished quickly. Aroma has a heavy malty background with hints of roasted coffee. Flavor is moderately bitter; but the finish is smooth and lively. Very good...

Bomber poured into English pint. Pours almost impervious black; when held up to the light, the beer reveals itself to be a dark, dark brown with ruby red highlights. Has a medium beige head that recedes pretty quick, leaving a light skiff and collar of foam. Aroma is strong in coffee (damn, I love that smell in a dark beer), campfire smoke, earth, caramel. Taste is sweet and a little sour; smoky. Only a little bit of bitterness. Fairly high carbonation for this style, creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied. A very nice straight porter.

Poured from a 12oz individual from total wine and more. Aroma is smoky chocolate, delicious. Flavor is great. There is some hop bitterness and roasted barley bitterness noticed. Mouth feel is a bit watery, but it works. Low carbonation.

[12oz Bottle - Seattle WA] A deep dark brown nectar made by the gods. This was a grea Porter. Had a thick drinking taste with a deep roasty aroma and the flavor was awesome. I loved the choclotae flavors and the finish was just awesome. I loved this porter. One of the best.

12oz bottle. Poured medium-deeper brown with a short cap of tan head. The aroma picked up a whole great deal of molasses paired with some licorice and vanilla.. some smoke too.. ooh.. this was surprisingly good. The flavor found toasty black patent malts, coffee, and molasses at the core with light earth and coffee bitterness and some smoke around.. picked up a little cocoa to go along with coffee on the finish. Light-medium bodied and dry on the palate.. very well balance. I’m shocked.. all the other Scuttlebutt stuff I’ve found locally has been brutal.. this was a great porter.

On tap. Something I could drink quite often. The flavor was of chocolate with a biscuity base. Ephemeral wisp of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. The color was of a vaguely translucent dark brown with a thick light brown head. Good lacing. I had one with an entree of Alaskan silver salmon in a red pepper sauce, potatoes, and butternut squash, as well as with clam chowder. I had another after dinner, accompanied by Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse. A great ale with a great meal.

Really nice roasted flavor. The color was rich & dark with a nice head. Really like it!
