Bottle back at Tumalo campground. Late eveniing..sky mauve..quater moon . Dark brown ale, light brown thick creamy head. Malty roasted aromas, dark chocolate. Rather milky taste, slightly toasted oat. Lite coffee , dark chocolate:only 65% cacoa. Tastes like a true English porter. Good smooth yet thin ( in style) mouthfeel. Very nice drinkable and lowish alkie.

Bomber. Pours murky brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of chocolate, brown sugar with a hint of hops. Medium body, texture a bit watery with fine carbonation. The taste has chocolate, a touch of coffee, nuts and brown sugar with a hint of smoke. Dry finish. Pretty solid.

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.

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.

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.

Mouthfeel is good with an adequete amount of carbonation. Very sessionable Porter with an abv of 4.5%. One of the better beers from Silver Moon Brewing.
