On tap at E-San Thai in Portland.
A very dark brown with a dense and creamy brown head with excellent retention and nice lacing. The nose opens roasty and creamy with caramel, brown sugar, coffee grounds, a moderate acidity and chocolate. Nice. The palate opens sweet, roasty and with coffee , cocoa and caramel. Medium in body and with a long, creamy finish, this beer has lingering flavors of cocoa, coffee grounds and a touch of raisin. Solid.

A: Dark brown. Slight haze. Low cream head. Medium carbonation.
S: Wet rot from pine with strong wet vanilla. Slightly sweet.
T: Sweet and vanilla up front with some chocolaty notes. Mild char bittering follows like cold coffee. Finishes slightly funky of wet wood or decomposing dried leaves. Not a great finish, but still a lot of good parts here.
M: Finishes slightly dry and fairly clean. A bit thick and viscous.
O: Okay. I felt it was a tad over roasted at times. Too much of a sweetness background lends to a muddled flavor at the back of the tongue. Not bad, but not a repeat.

bottle courtesy of Rathakem from probably about a year ago. enjoyed from a beer hunter taster tulip.
a - brew was super carbed...when i opened it, the gas nearly rushed from the bottle making a huge fizzle sound and a pop. no liquid geysered, but the pour yielded more than half the glass of foamy head. once things got under control, there was a nice watery black under a nice greyish foamy head. as i sipped the brew, streaky chunks of lacing clung to the glass.
s - nose is definitively porter with a good char. decent chocolate notes over black malt.
t - the chocolate is not overwhelming, but certainly leads in the flavor...but blends nicely with the roast and char.
m - the feel is fairly full for a porter while still keeping the char. kind of toes the line of a stout.
o - overall, forgot about this bottle and am glad i opened it tonight since it is fully hitting the spot. this was a pleasant surprise and quite enjoyable and easy drinking.
