Draught at the brewpub
Dark color. Roasted malt aroma, very yeasty. Caramel, roasted malt and candy liquorice flavor, still a lot of yeast. Not very good.

(On tap) Black and opaque with a handsome, dense, beige head leaving laces. Aroma of roasted malt with a vaguely burned touch. Medium body, sweet notes of roasted malt, lightly burned and pehaps a whiff of smoke. Not much bitterness really. A mild and very alluring Porter. 140407

Draft. Brewed as a summer version of the Porter, the hops is Willamette instead of East Kent Goldings and the yeast is a Chico instead of a Scottish ale yeast.

A pitch black beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of dusty hops, chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of wood, citrus, and roasted malt, leading to a dry woody and bitter end. Good - but personally I like the standard version better, but I’m a sucker for the more powerful beers, and this version is intended to be lighter.
