TASTING NOTES

Central Waters Mudpuppy Porter

RoastedChocolateDry

Mudpuppy hits you with clean chocolate and a touch of coffee, but nothing that lingers aggressively. There's a smoothness here that comes from restraint—it's not trying to prove anything. The body is medium and approachable, and at 5.7% it disappears faster than you'd expect. It's the kind of porter that lets you taste what else is happening around it, if that matters to you.

Revolution Eugene Porter

RoastedChocolateRich

Eugene comes in richer and darker, with more roasted grain character that actually tastes like it was put through a process. You get cocoa, a whisper of smoke, and a drying finish that suggests this brewery knows what a robust porter should do. The alcohol presence is there but integrated—it doesn't burn, but you know you're drinking something with more intent.
