May 4, 2008 Verrrry dark and luscious, a very smooth, dry porter. Not tremendously complex but certainly worth a try.

Apr 30, 2008 Pours a very dark chestnut brown. Slightly translucent when backlit. The khaki colored head is large and foamy, slowly settling to a murky layer with a prominent rim. Abstract, organic looking sheets of delicate lace coat the glass well. The aroma is chocolaty, lightly roasted, and surprisingly lactic. The creaminess in the nose just shouts "smooth", and it is a perfect compliment to the soft, velvety chocolate notes. Proving the nose true, the first sip confirms the creamy, silky chocolate and caramel flavor. A hint of espresso resides somewhere deep within, just enough to lend is signature roasted character, but not enough to overpower. A light, earthy hop bitterness reveals itself on the back end, adding just the right level of balance to this fantastic brew. The mouthfeel is medium-full and creamy smooth. This is quite possibly the easiest drinking porter I have ever had. Just awesome, from start to finish. This couldn’t possibly be any more balanced.

Apr 4, 2008 A nice porter with dark roasted malts and nice oak notes too. Some vanilla, wood, and earth round out the usual porter flavors. Very smooth and creamy. Good.

Mar 25, 2008 Sampled out of a 22. Very nice brew. Not too much flavor to it but it goes down incredibly smooth. Pours nice with a little bit of head that quickly goes away. Very dark and creamy. A very nice brew.

Mar 25, 2008 On tap at brewpub in Buellton. I was anticipating a bigger bolder beer (based in reviews) than what I tasted. It just seemed like a straight down the middle porter that was a little fizzy. I would have it again, but would not need to seek it out to satisfy a craving. I followed it with their Oatmeal Stout which was better. (I wanted their Union Jack IPA but it was not on).
