Ballast Point Black Eye Blended Ale

Brewed by Ballast Point Brewing Company
Style: Porter
San Diego, California USA

Had this one at the Ballast brewery, right across the street from USD campus a few weeks ago. Im not exactly sure how often or how much they make of this stuff, but an interesting blend of the porter and the IPA, I loved the increased hoppiness due to the mix. It sure makes Black Marlin more worthy! Dark coffee color, kind of watery on the edges, with a medium beige head. Not very thick, as expected from a porter/IPA mix, but the flavor was great! Dry and bitter finish on the plate. Nice.

A blend of the Black Marlin Porter and the Big Eye IPA. I agree with brettpace - an awesome brew... blends into a big hoppy, coffeed up, and chocolatey rich...with a bitter dry finish. Outstanding! Similar to Pizza Port’s Black Lie.

Wow. This is by far the best porter I have ever tasted. I did not see this beer on the list so I took the liberty of adding it. I tasted it at the home brew mart in San Diego. You all must go to that small shop and try their draughts, amazing beer.
