On tap here at Mukilteo brewpub.

Nice mahogany appearance, lacing and rimming for quite some time. Nose is burnt caramel malts and modest hops florals, but prune emerges after warming. Taste is nice burnt bitters, balanced but slightly subtle hops florals and bitters.

Tongue is dry, bitters and modest residuals of the taste.

 

 

 

 

Had this on tap at Archers Alehouse in Bellingham and I was impressed by how flavourful this porter is on first sip. Huge nose full of a smoky note that combines with the hops and malt. The did taste slightly smoky to me and the mouthfeel was quite thick but very drinkable. Lots of bang for the ABV buck

Had this beer on tap at Hooverville in Seattle.

Appearance: nice, rich black hue with a creamy tan head. Looks like a porter!

Smell: light but good coffee and chocolate aroma with a hint of a tart bitterness; basically all solid roasted malt aromas. I like it.

Taste: smooth flavor with lots of coffee. There's a nice bitterness to it as well. Hops are earthy and work with the flavor, although they are also just a little vegetabley.

Mouthfeel: smooth and creamy; just shy of silky. Really rather enjoyable for a porter.

Drinkability: an extremely solid session porter. This beer is definitely more drinkable than the sum of its parts; I could quaff pint after pint of this stuff.

Poured black with good carbonation and a nice tannosh head. Nose is dry, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, bread. Taste starts sweet, roasted mat, chocolate and some nice coffee notes. Noce body, balanced and tasty. Nice coating mouthfeel with cocoa and roasted malt. Very smooth and easy to drink.
