Nov 26, 2009 Very hoppy for a porter nose. Roasty, earthy good floral bitterness in the aroma. Dark brown pour with a creamy tan head. The flavor is roasty and earthy with a good deal of hop bitterness in the finish. Long dryness lingers. Well done.

Nov 23, 2009 On tap at Quinns. Was informed by the Beer Retard that this one rarely leaves the Bay Area, so I had to try it.
Meh.
As befitting the rest of the mediocre ratings, I found it to be nothing, and seeing how its named after the ghetto neighborhood in SF, I won’t be drinking it again.

Oct 26, 2009 The aroma is roasty. coffee, dark chocolate, very nice. The appearance is deep brown/black, small tan head. The flavor is chocolate, cream, roasted coffee. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and silky, but a tad too thin for this style. the finish is roasty, bitter, good. Decent porter, if not a classic.

Sep 4, 2009 Tap at Rattle N Hum. Deep black beer with a sticky tan head. The nose is lovely. There is a lot of rich chocolate and cooca along with a soft chewy maltiness. There is a nice chewiness through the middle with a kiss of plum and molasses along with a chewy toffeeish maltiness. Fairly assertive roastiness as well. Intense and chewy, but not overly sweet. Nicely constructed beer with a touch of roastiness on the back. Absolutely delicious brew. Really impressive.
