Bottle. The name and label are just a little too cute. That plus the location conjures images of a couple of guys sitting around smoking enough to make any name sound like a good idea at the time. Pours nearly opaque blackish brown with a dark tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate. Creamy medium body and moderate carbonation. The taste starts out sweet with chocolate, roasted nuts, then dries out an moves to espresso a little ash on the finish. This one flirts more than a little with stout characteristics.

Tap... Poured black with amber highlights with a brown head. Roasted malt aroma, strong chocolate presence with malt and some hops to balance. Chocolate-mocha-coffee-ish aftertaste.

From a 12oz bottle purchased at Belmont Station--Poured an abysmal black body with a tiny wispy gray-brown head. Nutty, coffee nose with lots of robust maltiness. Well-carbonated mouth feel. Lots of coffee in flavor and in finish. This is a well-built beer. Yum!

Bottle. Dark brown pour with a frothy and lasting light tan head. Deep chocolate and toffee aromas with some dark fruit notes. Medium bodied with big chocolate flavors along with tons of coffee notes. Musty, earthy notes.

Many, many thanks to Dave for tracking this down for me!! Poured a deep, murky brown with a huge, sticky, well-retained cap of dark brown head. The aroma began with well-roasted dark chocolates and coffee grounds.. warmth brought out the real goods, in the name of spicy pepper and pine bitterness, some deeply-rooted caramel, and star anise.. just decadent, and expertly balanced!

This was very hoppy in the flavor department.. pepper, grapefruit, and pine bitterness singe the tongue ever-so-slightly on the fore, with rich malty goodness falling into place right behind.. almost burnt dark chocolate, coffee, and molasses round out the middle, with coffee, pine, and floral bitterness on the burnt finish.. left a lenghty impression. Medium-plus bodied with a lot of hoppy bitterness, but balanced well by solid malt usage. This was a truly excellent porter!

12oz Bottle - 99 Bottles - Federal Way, WA
Aroma – Deep roasty malt aroma. Dark chocolate and spicy
Appearance – Dark brown, clear with a thin tan head.
Flavor – A great chocolate with a thin amunt of spices. This was a dark rasty maly nectar from the gods.
Palate – A thick porter feel. more like a stout but with t e porter finish. Great stuff!!!
Overall –This was a great porter. I loved the flavors this left me wanting more. Great Beer for the night.

4 ounce sample on tap at California Brewer’s Festival. Metallic, hoppy, grapefruity aroma with roasted, burnt, choco-coffee notes present. Quite metallic. Quite hoppy. Mostly opaque dark brown/black body with an orangey-tan head that is frothy. Black, burnt, roasted, malty notes to start. A bit of tobacco and leather is also present. Finishes with some bitter grapefruity hoppiness. A very hoppy porter...too much so for my tastes.
