On Tap at the Boise BP Hazy redish amber witha persistant soapy tan head. Lots of thick even lacing. They do a good job making sure the glassware is clean. Very mild soft light toasted malt aroma. Barely getting any smoked notes. If I didn’t know better Id say is a was a nice Brown Ale.

On Tap at the Boise taproom Hazy dingy yellow with no real head or lacing. Very faint light grain aroma. Plenty of sweetness and a lot of melon flavor. Seems to be more like rind than red "flesh" of the melon. Rather sharp and somewhat surprising bitter IBU bite. Was a little surprised to see it listed at 25 IBUs but yes...its interesting and a bit bizzare. Very low carbonation. Possibly the first tap of the day it got a little flat in the lines.

On Tap at the Boise Taproom. Clear dark redish brown Modest fleeting light tan head and sturdy persistent lacing. Nice soft roasty aroma. Flavors of light roast, chocolate and a touch of coffee. Rather light bodied and smooth. Not much of the characteristic slick oat feel. Missing that sour tang a lot of straight up porters have. Would love to see this place go totally balls-out on a 9.5% Baltic or Imperial. Their pattern of sessional beers is nice though. Still though, this beer makes me smile..Sarah

On Tap at the Boise taproom Clear dark redish brown. Barely a hint of wispy lacing, Very softly carbonated. Nice soft light roasted flavors with a little sweetness that helps along the subtle pumpkin flavors. Agreed. subtle and complimentary notes for the gourd.

Not overpowering with pumpkin spice like most, but actual pumpkin which accents the normal porter body and flavors perfectly. Enjoy this as a nice porter and forget the usual "fall flavorings". This is the real deal.

On tap at The Beer Mongers, pours an amber brown / near-black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out oatmeal and lightly sweetened cocoa. Flavour is the same, with a very restrained profile. Solidly made but nothing special here.
