Commercial Description:
This hand-crafted porter is made with the finest barley malts and chocolate malt to yield a beer that’s bold in both body and color. English East Golding hops are used to balance the roasted malty flavors and contribute to the bittersweet finish. Our specialty brewer’s yeast adds complexity, resulting in a rich and creamy head.

Dark brown color with ruby glints. Decent tan head. Aroma is primarily coffee. Medium body with sharply creamy carbonation. Flavor is coffee over dark toasted malt. Chocolate is a minor feature. There’s hop bitter to go with the toast. Very decent porter.

Tap at the brewpub. Deep brown body with red at the edges. A thick, yellowish khaki head topped it. The aroma was milk chocolate with some light coffee and almonds. The taste was milk chocolate with some mocha. A nice roasted finish. Decent.

I had this 5(?) years ago when I stayed in Calistoga with my wife. Nice beer. I remember it being very toasty and having some nice java and mocha flavors. I think I tried 4 beers at dinner there and this one was one of the 2 that I really liked.

Mildly roasted lactic nose with a touch of cocoa. Thin and dissipating on the palate with an overly astringent finish.

Roasted malt nose, deep dark opaque brown color, low tight head. Slight chocolate in the body at first, deep burnt flavor emerges. Dry coffee end, thinish body. A little too roated, but fun to drink.
