Had on draft at the C restaurant in Monterey. Wonderful light porter. Roasted malt, coffee and chocolate flavors and a smooth porter finish. Lightly carbonated. Great with the hamburger there. However, the bottled version has a more stringent aftertaste, and not as pleasant to drink.

Too light, no after taste, no aroma. Wouldn’t bother with it unless you want a light, tasteless brew

Tap. Dark brown pour. Aroma of dark chocolate. Taste is vinous and roasty with a good amount of dark chocolate. Like the other beers at the brewery, the body is light and the amount of carbonation is low. Good beer.

12oz bottle -
Found most, if not all, of the English Ales while on a recent stop in Monterey. Stopped off at Bottles and Bins and they had a great selection. The beer is really a nice porter. A mixed aroma of powdered chocolate, metal, dark fruit, and leather. Flavor has a nice combo of licorice, dark chocolate and light coffee bean. There is some bitterness that reminds me of molasses/burnt sugar. Probably the black patent. Very nice pour with a black body and a light tan 1" head. Tasty beer.
