Jun 10, 2009 Noisy crown with a quarter inch of height slowly reducing to just a skiff the body is very dark brown and has ruby red high lights. Coffee is the prominent aroma but not to strong, lots of chocolate and dark malts are noticeable, the aroma is very pleasant. Flavour is chalky and mildly sour, coffee and not to bitter of baker’s chocolate comprise most of the taste there is some wood and other nutty flavours. A touch over carbonated and medium bodied. The after taste is slightly sweet and lingers for a long while. Good enough to drink but not the best I’ve ever had.

Jun 8, 2009 One bottle from Chaz on Hawaii night. Clear dark brown body with ruby highlights. Dry roast and chocolate aroma with some mild coffee. Mild coffee flavor with some dry roast and chocolate. Medium body with moderately low carbonation and a creamy finish. Coffee really stands out in the aftertaste.

May 30, 2009 On the lighter side of porters, with a decided coffee nose and palate. Still, the roasted notes are not overwhelming, and the beer is attractively hopped with apricot/pine accents that complement the coffee elements. Dry finish.

May 22, 2009 Picked Pipeline by mistake, but it wasn’t a mistake afterall!!! Poured a nice black with a tan head that laced nicely around the edge. Nice roasted malt aromas. Flavors of Kona and chocolate are prefelant. Found the mouthfeel a touch thin for my taste. Still, I’ll look for more of this. What a Great Beer and Great reason to visit the islands!!!!

May 18, 2009 May 8, 2009; 12 oz. bottle. Sampled out of the bottle in San Clemente, CA. A surprisingly-good brew . . . this East Coaster was unaware that a decent porter was being made in Hawaii! (Rated, unfortunately, from memory -- looking forward to having a proper go at this.)
