Pros: Delicious roasty porter has not lost character over the years
Cons: none
I have often said that beers can be like old friends. You meet a lot of new ones in your years, but you always come back to a certain few that you can share fond memories with and that really are special to you. Sierra Nevada Brewing has been producing...

Pros: A solid Porter.
Cons: none
Part two of my "porter-off". I bought a bunch of porters and I'm reviewing them and comparing them to one another so they can help reveal some of the subtle characteristics about each other.
In the bright light blue trunks we have the Sierra...

Pros: Great beer, lighter for a porter, benefits from Sierra brewing
Cons: I want a bigger bottle next time
Wednesday night was quite an adventure. Having already posted reviews on Lindeman’s Kriek and Michelob Bock, I did try a few other beers that night. Needless to say, I did have a headache the next day.
The next update comes with a very...

Pros: Taste will cause seratonin levels to rise long before alcohol takes effect
Cons: Now I only have 5 left.
If you're on the Internet reading about beer, you're probably aware that Sierra Nevada has been brewing tasty craft beer since the early 80's and is a pioneer in the craft brew renaissance. Their beers are available just about anywhere you go in the ...

Pros: Solid porter with an even bitterness throughout.
Cons: Strong bitterness may not be appealing for some.
The strong bitterness of Sierra Nevada Porter is apparent upon the first swallow. This is definitely a beer for dark beer lovers that can appreciate the fine qualities that the roasted malt barley and hops bring out. The color is a deep, rich brown...

Pros: Perfectly sessionable, quality porter
Cons: Harder to find than the Pale Ale
After 27 years, there are few beer drinkers, craft beer and industrial light lager drinkers alike, who know nothing of Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Sure, most people have seen the bottles of the signature Pale Ale and its attendant green label, ...

Pros: uhh...pretty bottle?
Cons: way too bitter and watery
Living only and hour and a half away from Chico, CA, I am constantly surrounded by loyal Sierra Nevada drinkers. Around these parts, when people say, "I'm going to pick up a six-pack!" the automatic assumption is that they are going out for...

Pros: A porter that's obviously an ale. That's rare, and precious.
Cons: So overdone in roasted malts that it's hard to tell.
Pure sensorial today, folks, no stories. Dig in.
The beer pours dark, but not opaque. There's that beautiful tint of garnet deep in the brown, caught by the thick bottom of the half-size weissbier glass I'm using for tasting. There's a...

by LaFeet - Top 500, Aug 07 '01
Pros: Superb "almost" porter with an excellent flavor
Cons: Should be available in kegs soon for those of us out in the boonies
When in Rome .... when in Oklahoma - try to find a good beer. I have managed to do so, but most of my success required traveling to OKC or Tulsa. An hour or so each direction for me.
But I have had the luck of befriending bar tenders who...

Pros: tasty, healthy, dark, off the beaten track, opaque, complements raw red peppers nicely
Cons: tad expensive (but worth it), hard to find, you won't like it if you don't like dark beer
I work for a dot.com, so it's not that unusual for us to crack open some brewskis late in the afternoon on Fridays. Actually, there isn't a whole heck of a lot that is unusual for us, but that's a different epinion.
Anyway, my...

Pros: Good taste balance between sweet/bitter
Cons: A little over malted perhaps
Admittedly, Sierra Nevada's Porter has its detractors and champions like any good beer does. Possibly because of their success with their lines of Ales, many are disappointed with their Porter, expecting a different beer perhaps. I've found that ...

Pros: It is everything one would want from a porter.
Cons: ? ? ?
I love the dark deep mysterious color of this brew. Its scent is smokey and sweet at the same time with just the right amount of bitterness yet not overpowering. A great beer for sipping and relaxing. It is reminiscent of a smoked porter or a rauchbier...

by kurt_h - Top 1000, Dec 22 '99
Pros: An excellent porter either American or British
Cons: Pricey, very pricey
Sierra Nevada decided to try and make a traditional American porter, like those that were served on steamships and paddle-wheelers. Instead they found the more traditional British porter and more power to them! This is not a dark beer, even though it...

Pros: Full, very strong malt flavor
Cons: may be too strong for some tastes
Being a big fan of Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale (c'mon, who isn't?), I decided to try their Porter, mostly because it was on sale, but partly because I had *always* wanted to try it. I love most heavy beers, as a lengthy trip to the UK quickly remedied my...
