Our twist on the traditional robust American Porter, Shake Chocolate Porter is dark black in color with rich, sweet aromatics and flavors of dark chocolate, coffee and caramel. This unique brew blends five different grains, including Chocolate Wheat, that along with cacao nibs create a devilishly delicious chocolate finish with a velvety mouthfeel.

Nitro tap. Opaque black with a fine off-white nitro head. Chocolate nose, a bit candy-like. Sweet chocolate flavor, dark chocolate bitter finish. Smooth, nitro works ok. Decent but too sweet.

Boulder Shake Chocolate Porter 5.9% It pours a deep black with ruby highlights and a sweet vanilla chocolate aroma. Medium to full bodied this is a luscious dark coffee/chocolate beer with sweet vanilla notes. Great full body this is s lovely smooth beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Enjoyed the nitro edition at the Yard House in Vegas watching my team play in the Grey Cup. Pours a dark brown colour with a nitro creamy beige head, good retention and thick creamy lacing. Nice chocolate nose remind me of the Young’s Double Chocolate stout. Eventually, light grass shows up. The taste starts off with chocolate but the hops really kick in quickly. Roasted malt lingers. Medium-heavy bodied. Quite a nice twist on the Young’s, adding the American touch of more hops. My team lost.

Draught at Oddfellows, 11/3/15.
So I saw chocolate shake porter on the menu and probably somewhere in the back of my head, a little voice was crying, "Don’t do it, it’s Boulder!" but I didn’t catch on to this, and the brewer wasn’t listed (seems to be a very common practice at bars in seattle, WTF), so I asked the waitress who made it and she hesitated and said, "Backwoods, I think?". Well, it’s not Backwoods. No, it’s not any of the brewers in Seattle. To get something this vile, you have to travel down to Colorado and find yourself at Boulder Beer Company. Long story short, this sorry excuse for a beer tasted exactly like tootsie pops, sweetness and all, with exactly zero beer character. Needless to say, most of my pint was left behind in disgust. I hate you, Boulder (but it’s kind of fitting that the worst beer I had on the trip, by a longshot, wasn’t even from WA).
