Mar 14, 2009 Tap at the brewery. Deep dark pour, great nose and very smooth and easy to drink, Ballast Point never dissapoints.

Mar 12, 2009 It is black-brown with a red hue and a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate and dark fruit. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of roasted malt, chocolate, licorice, dark fruits and the finish has a roasted, light bitterness. It is uncomplicated, charming and nice to drink.

Mar 5, 2009 Nice, rich porter. Deep color with light brown head. Malty chocoloate mixed with hops comprises most of both the aroma and taste. Enjoyable.

Feb 27, 2009 Updated: Mar 24, 2009Roasty and hoppy. A RIS dialed way down that lets the hops really come through, Very drinkable, but definitely a West Coast Porter (if the term existed.) Another winner from Ballast Point, although maybe a little odd for the ’style.’ Definitely not something you’d find on tap at an English pub,

Feb 25, 2009 aroma is very weak with lack of decent aroma. taste is weak yet effective enough. to have a couple. lack of standard porter flavor that makes this outstanding. but it is drinkable.

Feb 25, 2009 The aroma is dusty and chocolaty with toasted malt and metal. The appearance is dark brown with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is a little thin. Overall not too bad but not too good either.

Feb 24, 2009 Had this a number of times and have always consistently enjoyed it whether on tap or ubiquitously in bottle all around SD. Its a high quality rich porter thats relatively sessionable.
