Pilsener "Vitamin P" from Steamworks Brewing
22 years ago
6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
An interesting take on the style. Highly hopped with PNW hops giving it an almost IPA like feel, but then a huge malt biscuity mouth balances things out driving home with a moderately dry finish.

Aiming for mainstream and that is what they get. Don't bother, unless your looking for numbers.

Purgatory Oatmeal Stout (formerly: Heroica) from Steamworks Brewing
22 years ago
6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Due to it being served out of a nitrogen tap it has a smooth creamy sweet chocolately body and finishing mildly bitter. Their best regular beer

Ipanema Summer White from Steamworks Brewing

5.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
I found much too heavy and full of cloves and nutmeg to really be a wit, much more like a weissen

Coal Porter from Steamworks Brewing

5.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Light bodied and milk chocolatish. I don't know why they rotate this with the Stout, as the stout is their best regular beer!

Cascadia Cream Ale from Steamworks Brewing

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5
Tastes like Japanese barely tea (mugicha). If I want Japanese tea, I will go to a Japanese restaurant, I don't need it in a brewpub.

Blitzen from Steamworks Brewing

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Shines in the tulip shaped glass like sherry. The nose is perfumy, with hints of spice. The body is yeasty with a mouth full of perfumy spices and a tight body. The finish is like a spiced up sherry. Not overly complex, but well made.

Bock from Steamworks Brewing

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
A full malty nose of light toffee and espresso notes. The rich, full, chewy, body is dominated by toffee, figs, black cherries caramel all leading to a smooth bold malty finish. This is the best beer these guys offer, totally AWESOME
