Snoqualmie Falls Steam Train Porter

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Roasted malty chocolate aroma. Roasted malty chocolate and coffee flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate finish.

Courtesy of Acertain. The aroma is very concentrated with milk chocolate, cream and dark cocoa. The body is black with brown highlights and the head is mocha colored and quickly fades into a wispy, filmy slick of an affair. Some dark fruit notes in the fore...approaches blueberry. Dark chocolate, burnt/roasted bitter notes through the middle. Decent beer with a sweeter fore than usual, but no lack of roast bitterness.

Thanks to brewdad for giving me a chance to try this. Poured thick black into the glass. Bitter chocolate on the nose. Taste was chocolate, a hint of coffee, black licorice, with a nice bittersweet finish. Full bodied and flavorful. a bit underrated I would say.

On draught at the brewery taproom in Snoqualmie, WA. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a creamy beige head that has some good retention and some spotty lacing. Aroma of oatmeal malt, dark chocolate a touch of coffee and some roasted nuts. Taste is medium bodied, mild carbonation with flavors of roasted dark malt, dark chocolate, and some coffee. Finish is slightly sweet at first and then quickly changes to a dry oatmeal and multi-grain malt aftertaste.

Glass enjoyed at Bailey’s Taproom in PDX--Poured a deep dark black body with a small tan head. Nose of mild cacao and a dash of coffee bean. Dry, chalky, nutty, and bitter. Finished a little thin and oily, but overall quite delicious.

On tap at the Green Dragon. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Fairly smooth porter, lighter roasted body, soft cocoa flavor up front, more of a bakers chocolate flavor towards the finish. A touch watery, lacked the creamy smoothness of some porters, opting instead for a crisper more pronounced hopped quality.

Aromas of molasses, vanilla, raw grains. Some cherry fruitiness, oak, and smoke. Tastes of dark chocolate, darkly toasted marshmellows (a sweet woody flavor). Dominated by sublte roasted malts. Hints of hazelnuts (think nutella). Good bittersweet finish. Easy-going palate, creamy texture. Finishs dry and sticky, like a bitter chocolate milkshake. A sublty satsifying porter, not overly thick + smoky like many of the genre.

Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Rich nutty, chocolatey aromas with a touch of coffee. Near opaque brown color with a tan head that came, then ringed. Medium body with sharp but creamy carbonation. Flavor starts with some chocolate, then coffee is almost all there is, barring smooth toasted malt. Finishes dry with a very little bitter. Quite flavorful. After time passes it turns a bit fruity with a sour note; not to mention coffee bitter builds up.
