Conclusion: This brew is from a local brewery right here in St. Helens. I've been to the owner/head brewer's house, met his wife and kids. Great family, great guy. A good friend of mine and his girlfriend do a lot of work for the owner. I've had several of Captured by porches beers and they've all been too hoppy, and or too light in body and color in my opinion. However, this is one damn fine brew. The head is excellent, it poured right out of the bottle into a thick, creamy, tan two inch thick head that dissolved into a quarter inch head while drinking (something most brews can not accomplish). The initial taste gives you the lovely flavor of roasted barley. Moving the brew down your tongue you get a nice flavor of Chocolate malt. As the brew goes to the back of your tongue you get a slight hint of toffee, with a quick hit of burnt/bitterness from Black Patent (I think). The beer has a silky, thick, malty feel to it and it sits nicely on the tongue, and in the mouth. The aroma of the beer is very delicate, but noticeable. The ratio of hops to dark malt is nicely blended, and with a wonderful body. This is by far (in my opinion) the best brew that Captured by Porches produces. I've had their Kolsch, their IPA, and while both of those beers are not bad by no means, this Porter is just that much better. I can't remember the last time I've had a commercial Porter this good. The beer is so good that it's like drinking a Homebrew. You get the same body aspect, the same flavors and aroma's. You get the love in the beer, that the brewer put into the recipe.
Public Aspect: Where to begin? One, it's a dark beer so most people are going to be put off by it. Second, Captured by porches is not as big brewery as most in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest so the name doesn't draw people in by brand recognition. However, if you can get your grubs on this beer do it! If you like dark beer you will not be disappointed by this beer. Plus, everything in the beer is made locally which gives the brew just that more of an edge over it's competitors. You may have to fight off your fellow dark beer drinkers (and maybe convert a couple more to the dark side) just to enjoy this brew.
