On tap at Baileys Taproom, Portland, Oregon. The colour is hazy dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of dried fruit, forest floor, black currants, spices, heather, balsamico, barn yard and subtle licorice. The flavour is surprisingly light with oak, forest floor, leather, wild berries and a little roasted aftertaste. Has a slick and sparkly mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. Nice aroma but quite light flavour. Pretty carbonated.

On tap at Baileys Taproom, Portland, Oregon. Pours a black colour with a small beige head. Roasted aroma with lots of coffee, chocolate truffles, nuts and rye bread. The flavour is similar with much coffee, chocolate and ash. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a light to medium bitterness. A fantastic and tasteful porter that is well balanced. Somebody will call it one dimensional.

On tap at Culmination, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh pineapple, wood and brett. Flavour is very juicy, with loads of pineapple juice upfront, followed by subdued brett funk. Nice fresh pineapple juiciness to this. Nice stuff.
