Pours espresso brown with coffee ice cream-colored head. Gives off a strong coffee nose and tastes slightly smoky and malty with a dry-roasted coffee aftertaste.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with light foamy head. Aromas of nuts and dried roasted malts. Flavours of dried coffee, oily dark fruit, grass, and roasted malts. Nice enough but nothing special.

On tap @ the brewery during 7/5/2014 Seattle beer tour. Pours a dark brown appearance with a light brown head. Roasted malty, dark chocolate, cocoa aroma. Light to medium bodied. S’mores flavor. Light smoke. A bit on the sweet side. Fine.

A little watery on the palate. Some roast and a little chocolate without being huge on anything. Finishes with light bitterness. Soft overall feel. Nothing memorable. Tap at DC Beer festival.

Tap at Elysian Fields, Seattle - 09/11/12. Very dark mahogony brown with a thin tan head that retains as a small pond and at the edges. Nose is roast malts, leather, liqourice, molasses. Tastes of roast malt, chocolate, molasses. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, dry finish. Touch above average.

Location: Draft at Iron Monkey, 6/28/12
Aroma: The nose is pretty heavy on the dry roasted coffee malts, with little else present
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with medium sized beige head, and some lacing
Flavor: The taste is pretty much the same as the nose, pretty much all unsweetened coffee
Palate: This one is quite smooth, with a light-medium body, and a fairly dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a good (if maybe a little bit one-dimensional) porter. It felt a lot like a coffee stout to me, and the coffee was pretty much all I got out of this one. Still though, I enjoyed it. Elysian certainly makes some nice beers, and this fits that category.

Draught at St. Augustine, Vancouver
Black color; creamy, beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, some yeast. The mouthfeel is quite smooth, with strong flavor of heavily roasted malts, but also a delicate fruity vein to provide some balance and complexity; the bitterness is quite strong, suspected mostly from the roasted malt; the late final gets a bit ashy.
Pleasant.

Dark opaque black color, steady beige head, lots of lace. Coffeish, toasted aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Smooth palate. Sweetish milk chocolaty flavor, lingering roasted coffee in the aftertaste. Well-brewed porter.

Having a bottle while working on my final paper for grad school. Pours a rootbeer brown with gigantic frothy head that goes practically no where. Tastes of dark chocolate, malt, some tar, a little smoke, and a little bitter. Great carbonation and fun sunday afternoon beer to have cooped in front of computer screen.
