Hmmmm
Only 4 reviews, huh? Never ceases to amaze me how few reviews there are for many PacNW beers. Ill chime in and agree with the remarks of the last 2 reviewers in terms of the taste of this beer. They have it covered. Now interestingly, the first two reviews are less than a week apart from back in 2003, and they both note a tartness to the beer that reviewers 3 and 4 evidently didnt experience, and I didnt either. Makes me wonder if there wasnt something about that particular batch. In any event, in my never humble opinion, this stuff is Nectar of the Beer Gods, and is my undisputed choice as the best small beer I have ever had in any style. Ive had it on cask at Horse Brass, and on nitro and CO2 at the pub in Government Camp. Been drinking it for a few years now during my frequent visits to the area, and it is consistently great. I like very few small beers, but I LOVE this one.

Had a pint on cask while having lunch with Da Boss today for $5.00.
Beer was served black with a nice tan head that left some lacing behind.
Nose was light roasted malts, dark chocolate, and hints of sweetness.
Taste is very flavorful for a small beer. Light roasted malts with oats in the mash and dark chocolate combine for an enjoyable sipping experience.
This was on cask but the lack of carbonation could not hide how small this beer is as this was very thin and was noticeable with each sip.
Overall a delicious session beer that could stand to have that malt bill increased to make it more satisfying.
