2016-02-07, draught at the brewery, 6.2% ABV, 6-4-6-2-12=30
Black color with creamy head. A bit roasty and a bit chocolatey, muffled, I suspect there is some nitro in the tap.
Easy, but not bad. Soft.
2016-02-06, draught at Perihelion, Seattle, 5.6% ABV, 5-4-6-3-12=30
Black color. Roasted malts, but mild, the mouthfeel is dry, it’s also a bit chocolatey.
Easy but not bad.

Draft pour pint at Some Random Bar. First visit, as party of my on foot Seattle crawl. Stop #7. Dark brown pour with a cream tan head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor is actually exactly what I expected from this beer. Sweet, but not overpowering. Soft vegetal note, but not overpowering. This is a fun, unique beer to try, but nothing comes of as great to me. Fun, just alright beer.

On tap at Perihelion, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out root vegetables and toasted malt. Flavour is super dry, with toasted malt and palate scorching dryness I assume is due to the potatoes. Not a fan of this gimmick. Not offensive but not my thing.

32oz growler filled earlier in the day. Black beer, khaki head. Aroma is not sugary, not roasted, not ashy, all well done for a porter. There is a character that I enjoy, that is sweet but not sugary, which I like. Flavor is similar. A little slick flavor. Bottom line: not roasted, sweet but not sugary.
