Sampled @ Elliot Bay, West Seattle, April 2007
This is a very light colored Porter; it has a burnt, ruby-amber color that is just dark enough to be opaque if I don't hold it up to the light. It is topped by a wispy, weak, tap derived, ring of a head. The aroma has notes of roasted raisins, caramel and toffee. The aroma is actually fairly fruity with a solid berry note.
The taste is quite a bit roastier than I was expecting, and it has a nice toasted grain character to it as well. Notes of coffee, toasted biscuits, and burnt caramel round out some rich malty flavors that while noticeable are quite dry and light somehow. This is a very quaffable brew, it is quite tasty and a great brew to have a session over at the local pub.
