Come sundown, who doesn’t love putting their feet up with a beer in hand? We certainly do, and so do the Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers that take a break from their 2,600-mile trek at our Tasting Room. We brewed this highly drinkable porter with rich, roasted aromas and notes of dark chocolate for just such occasions – with lasting smoothness and a sweet finish, this porter is the ideal end to a long, satisfying journey.

12 oz can from Inside the Cellar beer club. Aroma is roasty, wet stone, chalky candy, dark bread. Pours black with a one finger beige head with decent retention; leaves some lace. Taste is roasty with very little sweetness or bitterness; dry. Even though it’s hardly sweet, there’s an appealing chocolate milk element to it. Solid.

Tasting at Matt’s, can
Dark brown color; frothy head. Roasted malt aroma, dark bread. Some caramel flavor, some unexpected acidity, and a bit shallow in the final.

Medium brown. Not much head. Sweet, touch of sugary coffee character. I like the toasty sweet character.

12 oz. can, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is fairly subtle, with toasted malt and a hint of cocoa. Flavour is fairly dry, with toasted malt, and a touch of dry cocoa. Dry and bland, with not much body.

Draft at PreFunk-Nampa. Smooth and creamy pour, dark brown with small silky head, lots of lacing. Very mild aroma of roast grains and chocolate. Taste picks up on the chocolate, keeps a small bitter bite at the back. Nice velvety mouth feel.
