Tap @ Deschutes taproom, Bend. Pours clear deep brown, small off-white head. Aroma has liquorice nods, dark malt. Taste is liquorice-forward, distant chocolate, fairly light bodied, easy-drinking, gentle coffee hints. Nice flavourful, light porter.

Pours dark reddish brown with a thick tan head. Strong aroma of watered malt. Taste has rich creamy notes of coffee and chocolate. Palate has the most subtle element of hops and a fascinating sweetened note that is almost imperceptible. Fantastic porter, absolutely indicative of style.

Bottle, from Bottle Liquor, Morro Bay. Pours dark brown with creamy large beige head, mocha-dark chocolate aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter mocha taste, smooth but watery thin body, long finish. Nice porter, but a bit too thin.
