Description: This porter showcases locally roasted coffee from Home Town Coffee Roasters. The beer was specifically brewed to accentuate the darker roasted flavors of coffee. True story- Of Chimpanzee was named from a quote from our brewer's childhood. Every morning before school Logan's mom would replace "breakfast of Champions" with "breakfast of Chimpanzees" a tribute to growing up and those early childhood memories in our own family kitchen.

"Of Chimpanzees" refers to an incident from the brewer's childhood. His mother replaced "Breakfast of Champions" with "Breakfast of Chimpanzees". So this is a tribute to his childhood breakfast memories, which makes sense because it's a coffee porter.
And it's a very solid coffee beer, lots of coffee aroma and flavor, and typical dark roasty porter flavors.
On tap at Saraveza in Portland last month, review added now from notes.
