Sep 22, 2009 Served from tap at the brewery. Appearance is a more translucent brown black with a small tan head. Aromas are hop infused roasted malt aromas. The flavors are really nice roasted malt that lean towards the chocolate side. A good amount of citrus hop flavors too. The mouth is nicely carbonated and medium bodied. A nice blend, I really enjoyed.

Sep 16, 2008 On-tap at the Linda Vista location. Pours murky, light brown with a good sized offwhite head, good lace. Smells, well it smells like and IPA mixed with a Porter. Bright hoppy notes mixed with dark roasty malty notes. Tastes hoppy and citrusy with a nice backbone of roasty malts. The roasty flavors linger. Thin body, good carbonation.

Dec 7, 2007 Half and half poured from a bomber of Black Marlin Porter and a bomber of Big Eye IPA: Dark burgandy color held up to a light with a fluffy light beige head. Aroma is citrus, pine and dark malt. Flavor starts light citrus and pine followed by coffee and a little dark chocolate finishing semi-sweet with a light orange rind bitterness. Medium body is smooth and creamy with moderate carbonaton. Interesting blend.

Nov 30, 2007 Had this brew at the brewery in Linda Vista a few months back. Great flavors when the two beers are combined (Big Eye IPA and Black Marlin Porter). Reminded me of Stone’s 11th Anniversary.
