Snoqualmie Falls Steam Train Porter

Brewed by Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Snoqualmie, Washington USA

On tap at Atlas Foods in Seattle. Pours very dark; mine didn’t have a head on it, but I think the server let it sit for a while. Hints of smoky malts in the aroma, but not much else (it was in a shaker, of course, which may be a problem). Flavor started out decent enough (if a little weak), but finished very sour. Maybe it was sitting around too long in the keg, but I was unimpressed.

Nice dark brown almost black color, thick and long lasting head, good lacing. Very sweet chocolate aroma. This is an incredibly smooth porter. Reminds me of drinking french silk pie. Not much sticks out in this one though. A bit of sweetness, and very smooth. Good, but nothing special.

Very much a black body with a light tan head. This leaves a very heavy lacing on the side of the glass. The aroma was pancake syrup along with some coffee and chocolate. The taste had some dark coffee and some milk chocolate. There is a nice smooth and slick mouthfeel with little carbonation. This is a nice porter, but could use a little more body. Recieved in a trade with Larry Pitonka.

Gracious…what are you folks drinking? Pours a light black in color with a big and fluffy, off-white head. HUGE aroma of bittersweet chocolate and charred malts. Dusty mouthfeel, nicely hopped, with a rich sense of chocolate and burnt malts. Really nice.

now i had this from the bottle who knows what this kid is getting into when you fly him back like this...crazy and frothy as it may sound ’ i see porters’. nice ruby darkness with a frothy chewbacca head. nose of rush malt and nuts, almonds. mouth has a smooth dryness that attacks the base of your tongue leaving remnants of toffee and burnt flavors, sutble choc and coffee flavors throughout, good to the last drop. easy on the mind and palate.

Dark reddish brown appearance, thick head formation. . Roasted malt and dark chocolate aroma. Nice blend of malts, roasty with dark choclate and coffee without ever being too heavy.

Aroma: slight burnt malt smell with a little bit of cream
Appearance: dark brown-->black, tan head, lacing
Flavor: sweet chocolate flavors with some roasted coffee bean flavors and some grape skins
Palate: very sweet, with soda-type texture; some bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee bean aftertaste

Deep brown body with a moderatley dark brown head, the color of wheat bread. Dusty, airy nose of charred coffee and malts and some semi-sweet wood notes. Crisp and biting smoky wood flavor up front, turning to cold coffee flavors and smoke over the middle into a dusty and parched finish, accented by a strong charred campfire wood finish. Tastes very similar to Rogue Mocha Porter.
