On tap @ the brewpub. Clear deep dark ruby with a one finger cramy beige head, good retention--as a nitro should have. Loads of unsweetened chocolate up front with some moderate roasted malts. Flavor is much the same with hints of caramel and smoke, though the finish did turn a little burnt and ashy. Bitterness peaked around a 3 in the dry finish. Light prickly carbonation with a medium body. Not too bad.

On nitro tap. Poured a black color with a creamy brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Flavor was strong with coffee. Body was too light, but other than that this was a great beer.

Nitro pour. Dark brown with a lasting creamy tan head. Light roasted malt flavor, mild sweetness, with an earthy bitterness. Seemed a little thin, but the body was creamy from the nitro. Pretty okay.

Average porter here. Nothing really different about it except perhaps it was mostly coffee dominant with little else going for it in terms of complexity. Dark brown in color with light brown highlights. Slightly lactic in flavor, creamy with a dry finish. Coffee dominates the taste, just like it did in the nose. Easy drinking.

Sample at the brewpub: Very dark brown color that lets little light through. Medium thin beige head with good retention and thin spotty lacing. Aroma of coffee and sweet malt. Medium-bodied and creamy with a fair amount of roasted coffee flavor, plus some caramel and malt too. The finish remains creamy and sweet, with a bit of coffee bitterness left over. Right up there with the Centennial as far as my favorites from this brewpub.

On tap at the pub. Opaque deep brown color with a long lasting ran head. Caramely-malty aroma, with a malty mocha flavor.

On draught. Tasted during trip to California. Very beutyful beer with a creamy white head , comes from the nitrogen. Darkbrown to black colour. Roasted malt flavour comes to mine when smelling it. Tastes of coffee, sweet and dry that ends up little bitter.
