On tap with nitrogen at the brewpub in Healdsburg. Dark chestnut color with a thin, fine, light-tan head. Lots of sweet coffee in the aroma followed by toffee and brown sugar. More coffee in the flavor wit a bit of toffee and mild grain bitterness. Fairly thin mouthfeel with well-rounded flavors that follw through into a clean finish.

On tap at brewery. Darkish brown with a thick head. Wonderful coffee and molasses notes mixed in with just a bit of chocolate. Fills the mouth with a full body. Pretty solid porter in my book.

Draft @ the brewery. Murky dark brown, large dark tan head with lots of lacing. Light and thin with watery coffee flavors, light wood and coffee nose... subtle hops in the finish.
