Apr 23, 2008 Draught Deep brown beer with a reddish shine, little head. Obvious vanilla, oak and Bourbon, some roasted notes and again, lots of oats. Warming MF for obvious alcohol (Bourbon), sweet nutty dark worts and just enough discreet hops - great balance! Warming, but not aggressive in MF. Very good B.B.A. porter, much more balanced than most of its ilk.

Nov 28, 2008 Tap at the tasting room. Very dark black beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is pretty solid. Cocoa and chocolate with a soft vanilla/bourbon character in the nose. A light oaky sweetness that accentuates the cocoa and roast of the base beer. Even a soft fruitiness that works pretty well in here. Earthy with a noticable hoppiness. Nice brew.

Tap @ Ballast Point. Cask. Poured with a large creamy tan head. The beer itself was black and fairly opaque. The aroma was of coffee and wood with mild vanilla notes. The flavor had a light roast and woody notes. The guy pouring said it was a whiskey barrel but I don’t really get and whiskey. Light bodied and smooth.

Jul 19, 2007 Sampler at Ballast Point. Tasty and full of a big mouthful of bourbon flavor. Much like normal Black Marlin but with more pop and bang. I enjoyed it a lot but held off on the growler fill.

Jul 21, 2009 Draft. Blackish beer with a tan head. Nice bourbon, malt, and light chocolate aroma. Bourbon and light malt flavor with light caramel and light chocolate. Medium bodied. Bourbon and malt lingers. Flavor doesn’t linger long, but it’s nice.
