ON tap at brewery. Light brown with a fizzy white head. Roasty aroma and taste with good chocolate notes and a strong citrus hoppiness. Decent.

Sampled at the Linda Vista Brewery while picking up homebrew supplies. Sampler poured dark without much head. Aroma full of citrus hop, but also some roastiness. Flavor is sweet overall with citrus and choclate. finishines smooth and dry. This was damn good!

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.

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.
