Served On-Tap

A — Pours a medium brown hue into the glass, there is a bit of clarity and a lot of light passes through around the edges, very light appearance. There is a creamy tan colored head on-top, but it fades quickly and doesn't leave much in the form of lacing.

S — Smells lightly chocolaty and sweet, little bit of a nutty character as well. Almost no roasted or charred character at all.

T — Light overall, there is some grainy malt character, and quite a bit of sweetness, not much else.

M — Light in body, there is minimal carbonation and almost no lingering finish at all.

O — Underwhelming and underdeveloped overall, really needs some more malt character and some hop bitterness to round everything out.

Poured into an Elysian snifter. Pours a very dark brown, appearing nearly opaque black in the glass. A half finger medium brown head with good retention and slippery lacing. Nice aroma of cocoa and toasted malt. Flavor is also dominated by toasted malt, chocolate and drip coffee, with a cocoa and mild grassy hop finish. Light to medium bodied. A light, but tasty porter that is not that intense, but actually quite well done for a 4.6% porter. A nice early fall quaff.

Served in straight pint glass. Poured a barely translucent light black color, with 1/2 inch of dark tan head that had very good (bordering on great) retention and typical lacing.

The aroma was the expected blend of full grain, light roast and gentle hops of the style. The taste was a well expanded version of the scent, the grains a bit bigger, the roast a bit bolder, and the a bit tangier.

The body was nicely full, well-rounded, and smooth. Drinkability was excellent, my pint went down quicker than I anticipated on this rainy Super Bowl Sunday. Overall, a very nice example of the style. A must try if you see it, and worth some effort to seek out around the Puget Sound.

Another pint from the great little Rock Fish Grill. Poured a deep black with a rich mocha coloured thin, foamy head. There is a creamy, fresh aroma of dark chocolate, coffee and nice molasses. The taste is heavy with roasted malts and cold coffee flavours. The body is light with some heavier burnt malt notes. Not bad.

Dark chestnut brown with a light, toasted porter aroma. The beer centers on a casual chocolate malt flavor profile that improves with warming. It is otherwise dilute in flavor and body with no suds or standout features. Not bad, jut middle-of-the-road.

Had this beer on tap at the Wedgewood Alehouse in Seattle.

Appearance: very dark brown with a red tinge. There was practically no head, though this could just be a function of the pour.

Smell: a nice chocolate-centric aroma, but it was too weak to really appreciate.

Taste: chocolatey and roasty but not very strong. A hint of tartness frequently found in porters was present.

Mouthfeel: not awful but a little thin for a porter. Relatively little carbonation, even for the style.

Drinkability: an acceptable porter, but really not that great. I don't forsee myself ordering another one any time soon.
