Had on tap at the brewery.

Appearance: Pours a very dark brown, close to pitch black. Only a hint of ruby red shows around the edges. About 1" of light khaki head forms, which has some staying power. Lacing is pretty good too.

Smell: Definitely a good amount of malts in this beer. I get some sweetness initially, followed by quite a bit of roast. Probably more roast than you will smell in most porters. Pretty good.

Taste: Quite a bit of sweetness up front, with some dark chocolate notes. Some good roast notes and coffee bitterness follows. Overall a very flavorful porter. It's sweeter than many you'll have, but there is enough roast and bitterness to balance it out.

Mouthfeel/Overall: Mouthfeel is definitely on the light side, but it does drink smoothly enough. Probably the weak point of the beer. Overall, I liked it and would have it again for sure. Pretty solid.

Serving type: on-tap

Into a pint glass, pours a dark black brown with ok head, lacing is ok. Aroma is weak, hints of chocolate and roasted malt. Tastes kind of sweet actually, a good chocolate thing going on, and I can pick up the roasted malts, but is just more sweet than I was expecting, maybe from the wheat used?, and for a porter thats a bit odd. Mouth seems kind of thin, not too sure about this one. Though a bit on the sweet side, seems kind of average. A good drinker for sure, I might have this again if in the area. Then again, with all the local stuff to drink around here, probably not.

I think they have a winner here. Named after the street and area of town in Bozeman, MT the brewery is located. Ordered a pint of this after a meal at a local restaurant, since a nice dark beer serves as my desert while the Wife orders coffee and ice cream. Not as full of a mouth feel as a typical porter, and this one seemed sweeter than most. But absolutely loved it after the meal. The flavor was perfect at the time and the sweetness rounded out a wonderful meal. Still plenty of malt flavors, a hint of chocolate, not much hops, slightly fruity, resulting in the sweetness. I suggest it to others.
