On tap at the Elliott Glacier Public House. The colour was as dark as molasses. The aroma was sweetly malty with a faint hint of hops. On the palate there was plenty of roasted malt as well as coffee and some dark chocolate to help the medium length finish.

This is a full-on, step-to-the-plate porter. And the man standing next to me at the bar, with a mug of porter in his hand, says it’s the best beer in the house. Why is that, I ask him. Because you can’t see through it, he says. And that’s what I like about Parkdale. It’s a town of infallible logic.

The Baseline Porter (again, named for a landmark of Mt. Hood, not a John Entwistle riff) is solid, inarguably opaque, with toast everywhere. A porter lover’s porter. Very satisfying, though it lacks head and lace and does tend to fade towards the end of the pint.
