Commercial Description:
A dry stout with fresh brewed Cafe Calabria coffee. The flaked barley and oats serve to round out the body a little without the malty sweetness. Calabria is an independant coffee importer and roaster located on 30th st. in the North Park area of San Diego.

Draft. Blackish beer with a light tan head. Chocolate and oatmeal aroma. Huge oatmeal/barley flavor with coffee. Medium body. Lingering oatmeal, light chocolate, roasty coffee. Oatmeal is too strong. I don’t like lots of oatmeal or coffee in beers so why did I ever get this...

From tap at Solana Beach. Pours pitch black with a lacing tan head. Aroma is hard roasted malt and mild coffeeish. Flavour follows this closely with a nice acidic roasted malt touch and a light hoppy. Bitter and roasted malt finish. Nice and lingering.

~Pours black with thick creamy off white head. Almost looks like coke from all the carbonation. ~Strong malty, woodsy coffee scent. ~Coffee flavor with a nice bitterness. ~Creamy mouth feel. Bitter finish. ~This is a great beer. Yum!

Sample @ the brewery in Linda Vista. Pour was almost black with a small beige head that left good lacing. Some coffee and toasted aromas. Flavor was a little weak but, followed the Dry Stout suit perfectly.

Got a taster at Home Brew MArt. Black. Big, medium bubble tan head. Lots of coffee and roastiness. Initially turned me and I was dreading finishing my sample. But either after warming up, or becoming desensitized to aroma and taste, it became much better. Any way, not my bag baby.
