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 9, 2007 Black pour, moderate head with decent lacing and retention. Aroma is coffee dominated with chocolate and caramel, moderate to low hopping. Medium bodied, fairly dry, coffee and chocolate dominate. Bottle says conditioned in oak barrels, I couldn’t find any oak notes. Regardless, balanced and good porter with some character.
