Bottle from Total Wine and More in Roseville, CA. Poured a back color with a small head. Tasted of chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Smooth and very easy to drink for a porter.

Bottle, special procurement. Opaque black with tan head. Roasted malt, tree bark aromas. Charred flavors but smooth and robust. Nice.

12-oz. Cute little name, label, bottle caps, etc. Black with ultra light gray rim. Huge sour coffee nose. Creamy, oily body. Nice soft woolly fizzy carb. Coffee, chocolate, and roast on the mid-palate, though the coffee is hugely reduced from the nose, much more balanced and harmonious with the other notes. Mild chocolatey finish.

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.
