"Our rich, dark Porter is a full-bodied ale with a creamy, chocolate colored head. this Porter's smooth flavor and wonderful finish comes from a blend of deep-roasted barley malt and wonderful Willamette valley hops. 55 IBU's and Color of 55 SRM"

Pours black with a tan head. A fair amount of lacing remains on the glass. Smell and taste is of roasted coffee. Pretty solid beer, though just a bit harsh.

Pours an opaque black with a foamy super dark khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Foamy swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa powder, and char aromas. Taste is much the same with cocoa powder, char, earth, and burnt toast flavors on the finish. There is a medium amount of roast bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is solid, but super roast and char forward all around.

Too stiff for a Porter. I had to check the label again to make sure it wasn't a Black IPA.

A rough and brawny-flavored dark brew. Pleasant foamy mouthfeel. Serious amounts of charred and blackened grains. Quite bitter, in fact more bitter than most Porters I've had.
HInts of wintergreen. Very attractive in the glass, dark brown with long-lasting lacing. From the 16 oz can purchased at New Seasons Market in Portland.
