Feb 9, 2009 On tap at Alembic. A decent porter. I don’t know if it’s quite "one step away from being a stout" though, unless that step is a big step in fullness of palate. Black color with a medium tan head. Aroma is mostly roasted malts and coffee. Hops apparent. Flavor is roasty with a coffee taste that lingers at the end. Medium palate, maybe a little thinner than I’d like.

Sep 2, 2008 Draught at Magnolia Brewpub on Haight St. in San Francisco, July 2008. Cask. This struck me as watery. The usual chocolate, coffee aroma plus some licorice; coffee seems light in both aroma and flavour. Black in colour, light in bitterness.
