Jun 20, 2006 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.

Apr 20, 2008 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.

Oct 7, 2005 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.

Mar 7, 2004 Coffee, coffee, coffee, I didn't taste much chocolate in this porter like I have in the other Porters I have had. This was very good. Nice tan head.

Aug 28, 2009 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.
