Commercial Description:
A deep brown/red color, moderately sweet and satisfying ale with a rich malty flavor derived from roasted and aromatic specialty malts, enhanced by the distinctive aroma of Pacific Northwest Cascade hops.Slightly less ‘heavy’ than traditional porter-style ale, Pick Axe Porter is surprisingly refreshing for a beer of its dark color

Black but not opaque. Tan head. Big roasty nose. Coffee, toffee, grass. Lighter than stout but creamy, slightly soapy.

Porters - sometimes I don't know what to expect - especially for the palate - will it be thin and prickly or vinous? Well this one is Creamy - very full flavored and soft. Lightly roasted, sweet milk chocolate with a shorter dry hop finish. Deep brown with light tan head, excellent lacing.
