Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate. This is the best way to describe Monkey Face Porter. It is a medium bodied porter with significant chocolate malt characteristics. But don’t let the dark color scare you. This beer finishes extremely dry with a hint of the Willamette hops used to create this perfectly balanced porter. Monkey Face Porter is perfect after a long day at the mountain or on the river!

Thanks to Homerwantsbeer for sharing a bottle. The beer is a dark brown color with a medium thin beige head that diminishes steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Roasted malt and chocolate in the nose. Dry, medium body with flavors of roasted coffee and chocolate plus some malt and hops. The finish is dry and roasty with a pleasant coffee aftertaste. Decent all around.

Bottle from John’s Market. Aromas of chocolate and dark toasted malts. Pretty opaque dark brown/black. Brown light through the glass edges. Frothy, somewhat lacing, tan head. Thin to medium bodied. Starts with chocolate, which develops with swishing. Which thins the ale. The finish begins with a light malty sweetness, replaced by toasted malts, accompanied by enough hop bitter to make this a really good, as opposed to average, experience. Chocolate returns in the end. A good one.

Draft at the Brewpub: Poured a dark brown with a smaller beige head. Light lacing. Nose is heavy on the roasted malt with medium chocolate tones. The taste is consistent to the aroma with the addition of coffee/mocha notes and a bittersweetness. Decent porter.

Deep dark brown, almost opaque, with ruby highlights at the edges. Fleeting tan head. Faint coffee and chocolate aroma. The flavor is smoothly delivered with dry coffee, chocolate, and light vanilla. Creamy and smooth with a dry finish.

On Tap at Cascade Lakes Lodge Clear very dark brown with a nice tan head with very smooth creamy lacing due to the nitro. Lots of dark roasted malt aromas and a rather acidic/metalic flavor and an almost rusty aftertaste. A rather thin feel made this a bit of a dissapointment.
