Jan 12, 2009 Bottle from some bottle shop in Carlsbad. Pours a deep brown with a tan head. Aroma is milky with a hint of dark chocolate and coffee. Lighter side of medium bodied with a smooth, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Somewhat British like in character, with a mixture of caramel, tobacco, chocolate, and nuts. Moderate amount of residual sweetness. Tame amount of bitterness on the finish, along with some wet grains and wood. Not bad at all.

Jan 6, 2009 Reviewed 12/28/2008 (bottle):
Pours a very dark red brown color body, with a big foamy craggy tan head. Some alcohol, strong coffee. A little dusty sweet chocolate aroma, not too strong. Watery palate. Weak roasted coffee taste, a little bit of chocolate. Nice sipping beer.

Jan 3, 2009 Bottle from Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa. The black body was topped with a large light tan head. The aroma was coffee and strong roast. There was also some soybean and walnuts. The taste was medium coffee roast with some walnuts. A candy caramel finish. A pleasing porter, but not super special.

Dec 20, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle purchased locally. Aroma is full of roasted coffee and chocolate. Color is a deep ruby brown with a creamy tan head that laces well. Flavor is more roast coffee, with a strong toasty malt backbone. Bitterness is strong but not overpowering. It works well with the malt. Some citrus hop flavor in the finish. Clean, dry and creamy. Overall very complex and well balanced.

Dec 10, 2008 Dark brown pour with a solid bit of carbonation and a medium sized tan head. Chocolate and malt in the aroma with maybe a very mild hint of smokiness. Very full bodied and with a hearty malt and chocolate flavor with some mild coffee backing. Much better than I expected for a brewery most noted for their pale ales!
