TheAlum	2.7 Siletz Oatmeal Cream Stout 22 oz bottle courtesy of riversideAK extra. Thanks! Pours a pretty dark pour, black with brownish red edges, not opaque, but still fairly dark. Small light brown head, lighter than chocolate milk, dies to a film that laces ok. Aromas are a nice sweet stout base, roasted malts, creamy chocolate, coffee, oatmeal sweetness, caramel, a touch bitterness it almost smells like. Interesting, full enough and good. Initial is thin, a bit harsh in the bitterness, almost a touch astringent, moving into a light roast, coffee, a touch of chocolate, caramel, and vanilla. This is very underbodied, a bit harsh, a little watery in the finish. Largely dissappointing, in flavors, body, and even a touch in appearance. Surprisingly it smells pretty good. Subpar. Wednesday, October 7, 2009
Cletus	1.5 Siletz Paddle Me IPA Pours copper with a huge gushing tan head. Smells very tarte with chewable vitamins dominating. Tastes acidic and metallic with a messy finish. Friday, July 24, 2009
dkoonce	1.1 Siletz Paddle Me IPA This beer obviously has a multiple personality disorder. Half of the people think it is normal, and the other think it’s a drain pour. I opened this bottle to a gusher, despite leaving it still and chilled for a week. When I poured the beer, it filled the tall pint glass with foam. Like 100% foam. Like, you can lift up the glass and look at the bottom and only see foam. After five minutes, an inch of cloudy, auburn beer has appeared, and the head has dropped an inch below the rim. The bottle sits in the sink and continues to foam out. Malty, yeasty, hoppy, stale aroma. I fear I got one of the bad batches. Flat, stale, bad. This beer, was hardly worth the wait. They should put warning labels on this beer. I hate to pour out a bomber of IPA, but this must be done. :-( Saturday, July 4, 2009
JJClark	3 Siletz Paddle Me IPA 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear light amber color with foam, foam and more foam. The beer had to settle down for 15 minutes before I could take a drink. Aroma of piney hops and citrus. Taste of hops, citrus and spices.The flavor was not overwhelming hoppy but still hops dominated the beer. Had a semi bitter dry finish. Saturday, July 4, 2009
Rciesla	3.4 Siletz Oatmeal Cream Stout Bottle either an extra or shared by someone. Brown body with a tan head. Light burnt coffee grinds and chocolate notes. Bitter with licorice and a dry finish. Saturday, June 27, 2009
Rciesla	3.2 Siletz Spruce Ale Bottle. Pours an amber body with a tan head. Lots of malt caramel and some light earth y tones. Spruce, dirt and some lighter bark. Lemon sappy tart finish. Decent brew. Saturday, June 27, 2009
Rciesla	3.2 Siletz Paddle Me IPA Bottle think it was an extra. Pours an orange body with an off white head. Floral hoppiness with earth y tones and some grass. Malty pine with some citrus. Eh. Saturday, June 27, 2009
Opivy44	1.3 Siletz Paddle Me IPA I Love Beer and I’ve had Great ones and I’ve had bad ones! This has to be one of the latter! It tastes like a home brew that was left out in the direct sunlight all summer long! :( Not an IPA but more like a belgian golden ale with way too much yeast. Sorry Guys! I liked your Red Ale! Tuesday, March 24, 2009
fuyajo	1.9 Siletz Chocolate Porter Sour, somewhat fruity smell. Pours dark with no head and little carbonation. Taste was surprisingly sour (not something I typically look for in a porter) with a bit of cherry flavor and then coffee and other roasted notes. Finish is lasting with a good amount of coffee flavor. Certainly not what I anticipated from ta "chocolate porter," and I’m not a fan. Monday, March 2, 2009
raphael	3.4 Siletz Paddle Me IPA Aroma starts off peachy but turns toward grapefruit, with smoked malt also present. Clear yelllow amer body with white head that lingers. Flavors of smoke grapefruit—both the fruit & the peel. drying finish. Friday, February 27, 2009
Ungstrup	2.6 Siletz Spruce Ale Bottled. An amber beer with sediment floating around under a thick off-white head. The aroma is acidic malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with hints of acidity and notes of malt, citrus, and spruce, leading to a dry lemony finish. The body is thin. Tuesday, February 3, 2009
jgb9348	3.6 Siletz Chocolate Porter Nice deep dark brown coloured body with a perfect sized dense light brown head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma of fresh chocolate, deep roasted malt, nuts, cherries and a faint hint of tobacco. Medium-bodied; Cherry and fruity lightness up front with coffee and deeper roasted malts soon behind. Aftertaste shows some complexity with vanilla and oak coming out - but pretty light compared to what you might expect. Overall, a pretty solid beer - a bit light in the taste, but it turns out to be a good thing, more of the complexity shows up! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased over 2 years ago in September 2006 at Whole Foods in Portland, Oregon, sampled at home in Washington on 21-January-2009. Thursday, January 22, 2009
beerbill	2.6 Siletz Oatmeal Cream Stout 22 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with bitbucket. Pours very dark brown, just about black, with a moderate creamy tan head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left a few small patches of lace. Very pleasant aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, prunes, and dates. Unfortunately, the flavor is a huge let-down. It begins with roasted malt, coffee and chocolate, but is followed by a strong tobacco flavor and an odd tangy sour flavor. The sourness and tanginess was in sharp contrast to the creamy smooth mouthfeel I was expecting. I actually ended up not finishing this one. Very disappointing, especially after the promising start. Wednesday, January 21, 2009
leeburg	2.7 Siletz Chocolate Porter Shared a bottle at Bier One in Newport, OR. Appearance typical of the style. Aroma was of sour cherries and molasses, roasted barley. Flavors hinted at the coffee/chocolate that I expect in porters, but the initial tart dimension was just a little too weird for me to enjoy it much. Tuesday, January 13, 2009
blutt59	1.8 Siletz Paddle Me IPA bottle, strong gusher that filled up the sink on the way down, better luck next time Saturday, January 10, 2009
stchloe	3.6 Siletz Oatmeal Cream Stout Not a traditional cream stout. Heavier than comparable cream or coffee stouts, but also slightly tart. Almost like a combination of a spruce ale and stout. Saturday, January 10, 2009
madbeer101	2.8 Siletz Spruce Ale Bottled. Amber coluored. Unclear. Dense light brown head. Light apple, light citrus and some sourness in the aroma. Flavour of caramel, some sweetness and herbs. Again a light sourness. A bit thin bodied. Sourish grape in the end. Thursday, January 8, 2009
Ratman197	2.8 Siletz Spruce Ale Bomber poured a clear reddish amber with a small lingering ring of ivory foam. Aromas of cabbage, light spruce and light carmel. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of spruce and carmel with a crisp dry lingering bitter finish. Tuesday, December 30, 2008
thewolf	2 Siletz Spruce Ale Bottle at Madsberg 2008 Tasting. Pours orange with a small, lightly creamy, off-white head. Aroma has lots of oranges, some wax-like notes. High carbonation, weak and watery mouthfeel. Flavour is sour, citric and definitely infected. Poor. Tuesday, December 30, 2008
Papsoe	3.1 Siletz Spruce Ale Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Clear amber golden with a very tall and lively rough head. Strange aroma of wax. Medium body with an almost violent carbonation and citrusy accents dominating. Dry and astringent finish. 291208 Tuesday, December 30, 2008

yespr	2.3 Siletz Spruce Ale 22 fl oz bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a huge bubbly off-white head. Mild citrusy and slight herbal aroma. Light milky touch. Acidic and citric flavoured, solid bitterness and spiced. Ends sour and citric. Quite fizzy carbonation mouthfeel. Monday, December 29, 2008
blutt59	1.8 Siletz Chocolate Porter bottle, huge gusher that kept going, very sour tasting and lifeless, not a good bottle Saturday, December 13, 2008
theisti	2.9 Siletz Wooly Bully 22 courtesy of DA. About 12 months ago I had an infected bottle of this beer, and had wanted to retry it. Derek was kind enough to see it on my want list and to send me a bottle to give it another go. Pour is hazy golden orange, smallish off white head. Aroma of sweet maltiness, some chemical bitterness. Taste is sharply sweet with bright acid bitterness. Palate is medium to thin. Overall a little harsh, not totally for me. Thanks for sending Derek, I had really wanted to like this better. Thursday, December 4, 2008
scrizzz	2.5 Siletz Spruce Ale Baby diaper? what is that? now i am distracted. sour funk that cannot possibly be intentional. will try again. dark hazy amber, average head, little chunk. That crazy aroma permeates everything and I cannot get a good read. actively seeking again. Thursday, December 4, 2008
Beardface	3.5 Siletz Chocolate Porter Dark and thick as motor oil with an absolutely gigantic tan head. Very nice lacing as well. Very roasty and chocolaty with with an extremely creamy feel to the palate. Would rate even higher if it weren’t for a dose of metallic flavors at the back of the drink. Have had this on tap as well and it’s much better there, something about the bottle messes with it. Sunday, November 30, 2008
decaturstevo	3.3 Siletz Oatmeal Cream Stout Dark brown almost black pour with tan head and lace. Dark chocolate and medium coffee. Dark chocolate bitter with burnt coffee and a light sour finish. A bit thin and foamy for my tastes. Not bad but not special. Sunday, November 30, 2008

Beardface	3.1 Siletz Oatmeal Cream Stout Something was off about this beer, though I’m not 100% sure what it was. A medium level of oat and chocolate flavors but with a weak feel overall. One of the least good stouts I’ve ever had. Sunday, October 19, 2008

SudsMcDuff	3.4 Siletz Wooly Bully finally get to try a Kellerbier... pours a dark medium murky brown colour ... wow, this is an interesting style, has a nice mouthfeel but the aftertaste is what is strange(new to me), some sourness and tweakness , but refreshing and not drying out like sour ales ... i can see liking this style alot more with more practice (and different samples) but this beer is still kinda nice. lacing is ’a new rug’ .... the aftertaste is so wicked and different, i can see most people hating this beer, but to the few who love shocking refresh beers and sour ales, should love this!! ..first bottle from BT...
