Very nice drinkable and lowish alkie. boFNjackson (1233), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 22, 2008 22oz bomber from the brewery... Poured black with a dense, brown head. Aroma contained smoked malt and mocha characteristics. Soft palate that’s very full, with flavors of roasted malt, hazelnuts, chocolate and a toffee finish. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Dec 16, 2008 Bottle shared by bvc. Smells pretty roasty with light mocha sweetness. Really a lot of coffee actually. Pours black with a thin tan head. Flavors of coffee, roasted malt, and a hint of chocolate. A little dry roast in the finish, but this one was almost watery. Really thin. Nice aromas and flavors though.

hayduke (1621), Eureka, California, USA Apr 16, 2009 This poured from the 22 oz bottle a very dark brown tending toward black with a robust foamy tan head and good lacing rings as it very slowly settled. Good head retention. Nose was of roasted malts and floral hops with some coffee notes. Very smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is uncomplicated with chocolate, coffee, and a hint of fruit. Finish is dry. A very easy drinking porter. anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden Dec 24, 2008 Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a black color with a longlasting tan head. Has a roasted malty chocolate and coffee aroma.

Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Oct 30, 2008 22 oz bomber from Market of Choice. I feel like this would be a much better brew if they could get rid of that metallic astringent taste that hits you right off the bat. The beer pours a nice dark brown with a pillowy tan head, and has the typical nice porter smell of chocolate and coffee. Flavor improves a bit after it’s sat down for a few minutes. Okay for my first outing from the brewery.
