279/927)  Home:  Pale Ale by Okanagan Spring of  British Columbia:  *1/2;  malty, bready nose;  a standard old school malty ale;

280/928)  Home:  Black Butte Porter by Deschutes Brewery of Oregon, U.S.A.:  *1/2;  5.2%;  the label reads, "Crafted for explorers";  nose features malt, alcohol, chocolate;  very malty with roasty coffee flavours;  people rave about this but I found the maltiness over-shadowed what I like best about porters;
