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.

Deep brown with a mountainous, fluffy, dark tan head. Dark roasted malts, sweet molasses, cocoa, and some cherry. Body is a little thin, and fairly carbonated. Nice, bittersweet flavor. Roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, citrus, and a little molasses. Quality porter.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours hazy, opaque black with a tall, rough shaving foam style head leaving laces. Lightly tart aroma. Thin and watery, lightly roasted malt and a huge carbonation with big bubbles. Subdued bitterness. I reckon there’s an infection hiding in here somewhere. 070907

On tap at Elysian, Seattle. Very dark brown, lasting tan head. Very intense dark malts. Lots of espresso coffee. Dry finish. Little bit of liquorice. Hoppy tingly finish. Nice.

tap at the brewpub - Pours dark brown to black with a moderate tan head. The aroma is of malt and coffee. The flavor includes the dark roasted malt, coffee, and a hint of chocolate. A medium body and rather smooth mouthfeel make it easy to drink. It’s not great, but like most of the other Elysian beers I tried, it’s a good example of the style.

Dark brown pour with a smaller tan head. Flavor is rich with coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt tastes. Aftertaste is a smooth chocolaty roasty feel, no real bitterness to speak of. Pretty basic recipe for a porter, but well done.

Draught Colour not determinable. Very much roasted grains and impressive coffee nose, "BIG", but in a grand way. Smoked, cigarette ash, dry, bit severe, but very "closed" on a "right" porter, with all the requirements and without the sourishness of a stout (as wrong as that may be historically speaking). Dry, to style; medium bodied. Now here’s a porter for you.
