Aug 11, 2008 Draft at brewpub, tan head, dark brown color, roasty aroma. This is a nicely carbonated porter with chocolate/ roasty malt taste that could use a little more body. Very drinkable.

Jan 24, 2008 20-Jan-08 (Draft: Humpy’s Alehouse in Anchorage, AK) Chocolaty, roasty and lightly smoky flavors dominate, with light hop flavor and bitterness adding complexity and subtle balance. Roast is lighter when the beer is sipped, but picks up in the finish. The beer is reasonably dry with just a touch of sweetness. On the palate, it’s medium in body and medium in carbonation, with a clean, dry mouthfeel from start to finish. In the very aromatic nose, chocolate, roast and toasty malts combine with a light hop aroma. Medium-dark brown with some translucence at the edges, and a small light-tan head fading to a think ring. Nothing flashy here, just a nice, solid porter.

Feb 23, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trade with BeerandBlues2 (thanks!). Poured a deep brown color with a red tint and a smaller sized tan head. Aromas of chocolate, roast, caramel, light smoke and light coffee. Tastes of chocolate, roast, caramel and had a light coffee finish. Tastes, like the body, a tad on the thin side.

Feb 6, 2007 Love the PNW hop aroma of this otherwise bland porter. Very clear brown with a some tan head. Flavor is non existant and the palate is very watery. Love the aroma though. Thanks Brad.

Jan 3, 2007 Dark brown pour with no head. Roasted malt nose, coffee. Light mild flavor. Watery. Disappointing for a porter.
