A striking, robust porter full of warmth and chocolate malt. An assortment of Belgian specialty malts form a complex structure of toasted grain and caramel flavors. Dark chocolate malt makes this porter black as night and infuses it with its distinct intense, chocolate essence.
Eugene is a robust porter named after Eugene V. Debs, an American union leader and activist who led the Pullman Railroad strike in 1894.

12oz can poured into a shaker. Pours almost black with a finger of dark brown head. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is light bitter coffee and chocolate with a hint of burnt caramel. Full bodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, great. This could be a great daily drinker.

Thanks Adam! Enjoyed in a Teku at fridge temp. 3 finger roasty brown head, gorgeous lacing. Wow.Smells like fresh ground espresso beans and milk chocolate. Smells amazing. very decadent profile. Roasty but not overwhelming. fresh chocolate and hints of vanilla with this birch wood smokiness. Impressive.

From a can, this stuff looks GREAT! Big foaming evolvong head, almost as good a nitro stout, no lie. Aroma is kindah metallic. Taste is pretty strong, porter and all but it is more like a baltic porter, wew. Good charcoal feel to this stuff.

12 oz can generously given to me by beastiefan2k. The pour is a deep, hazed brown, with a full 3 inch khaki head. The head falls slowly. The aroma is light ash roast, a bit of mineral, and malt sweetness. The taste is mineral roast, dark chocolate, pine hop, and finishes with dry bitter sweet chocolate. The pine hop becomes more pronounced as the beer warms. The palate is medium to light bodied, low carbonation, and the mineral dry roast finish. Nice porter, great name, thanks for sharing Eugene.

12 oz can from De Bierkoning @ home (says 6.8% ABV). Color is as good as black. Beige head, quickly receding to a thin layer. Aroma’s: roasted malts, ground coffee, chocolate, with fruit retronasal. Flavor is roasted, lightly sweet, fruity. Carbonation is a bit low which give this a bit of a thin mouthfeel. Short finish, with just a little dryness, roast & chocolate.

Drank in the can thanks to salukialum. Pours a dark brown appearance with a creamy brown head. Rich dark chocolate, bakers cocoa, roasty maty, light vanilla aroma. A bit thin. Richly roasted chocolate malty, light coffee, a touch burnt flavor. Pretty tasty dessert beer.

Dark with a deep brown head. Aroma is dark malts, chocolate, lightly roasted malt, earthy hops. Medium bodied. Flavor has mild sweet chocolate, roasted malt, earth, some molasses. Didn’t notice the 7% alcohol in this one. Real nice porter and one I’m glad I have the rest of a six pack to finish.

12oz can poured into a plastic cup. Oodles of points for probably the best beer name ever. Otherwise, pours with a brown thick head. Its a good porter, roasted, not bitter, slightly milk. Some American hops peaking through but not entering Cascadian territory, just low alpha acids, perfect. Well attenuated, very drinkable. Apparently, they use some specialty Belgian malts in this, nice touch. They did a great job with this, a nice beer for the proletarian Eugene in all of us.
