Hints of chocolate and coffee accent this rich and creamy brew. Blackcat’s smooth approachable flavor demonstrates that dark beers can be enjoyed by all. Our traditional Porter features five select specialty malts, English Ale yeast and fresh Northwest hops. Blackcat is clean and crisp, yet complex and flavorful. A superbly balanced beer that is drinkable any time of the year.

On tap at the SeaTac location. Pours a clear dark brown with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has slightly sweet dark grains with a good amount of roast and a hint chocolate backing. Flavor has strong earthy roast and a bit of earthy chocolate supporting.

32 oz growler poured, filled at Mac and Jack's. Such a classic beer, and was one of the very first craft beers I can remember trying on draft. I remember thinking, "Mac and Jack's does another beer?" Times change. So do beers. And the good ones seem to live on. A cola brown pour, with a thin active fizz head. A tasty, well made porter here. Dark toasty malts on the aroma. Cool, clean dark malt flavor. The slightest rich side to it. Has a warming feel, without the beer being heavy in any way. Pleasant porter here. No problem putting down a growler while watching the game.

Black. Chocolate, anise, light roasted malt, some dark ripened fruit. A decent amount of pine and citrus hops. Solid if not memorable.

On tap at Mac & Jack's, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out coffee grounds, dry cocoa and toasted malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with dry crusty bread and light roast. Pretty ordinary but smooth porter. Decent.

On tap at Brewforia in Meeidian, I’D. Deep rich brown with a small light tan dense head. Lightly roasted and faint chocolate aroma. Slight roasted flavor and a faint slightly sweet brown paper bag note. A little on the sweet side and almost completely lacking that sour porter characteristic. Undercarvonated, even a bit for the style. Easy to drink. Not very interesting. A Porter for the masses.
