Nov 6, 2007 This beer keeps getting better each time I try it. Pours dark brown with a very short brown head. Toasty malt, oak, cream, chocolate, tobacco, and coffee. Taste is sharp with more bitter coffee, dark chocolate, oak, and some maple syrup and a cascade hop finish. Very nice.

Nov 1, 2007 Aroma is slightly sweet. Whisps of an off-white head. Taste is better than the aroma. Very subdued, with a nice oaky aroma and taste. Just a solid beer..
Okay, let’s try and organize this:
Aroma: slightly subdued and sour mash, but nice.
Taste: oaky in a marginal way, but smooth and not overwhelming. Pairs well with the oak, but is very mild.
Decent.

Oct 26, 2007 This dark brown ale poured with a decent tan head and a roasted malt aroma. The flavor is intense with elements of coffee and chocolate, and a soft hoppy finish. Very well-balanced and tasty.

Oct 25, 2007 Pours a dark black with a thin tan head. Good beer, but has a little too much carbonation for my taste. Has a mild bitter finish that lessens towards the end.

Oct 25, 2007 Updated: Sep 24, 2008This is a good porter, but when cold it’s almost like a stout. A bit of hoppiness that levels out as the beer warms is the most positive thing I can say about it. It also has some rich chocolate taste and reminded me of Santa Barbara. (Actually bought this one again on accident! Still good!)

Oct 25, 2007 On tap at pizza port Carlsbad. Super dark brown, almost black. Some roasty aroma and taste, but mild enough that I still like it. Medium body. Not too sweet or too dry. Reasonably easy to drink. Very little head. Small bubble ring. Little head.
