From a bottle pours a nice rich brown with somewhat thin tan head. Aroma has a nice roasted, somewhat smoky character to it. Rich chocolate flavor with a bit of raisin and malt. Mouthfeel is fairly rich with a bit of alcohol in the finish. Overall very nice.

Bittle. Dark brown color with tan sheen. Mocha coffee, kelp, dark roast aromas. medium body, average carbonation. Lightly astringent mocha coffee, tobacco flavors with dark roast bitterness--not bad

22 ounce thanks to Jose. Chocolate. Cocoa. Vanilla. Body is thing. Taste reminds me a bit of a thinner Southern Tier Chokolat, which is good since this beer is drinkable by yourself. Very decent.

Shared by Reg. Pours a clear light brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma has chocolate, coffee, roast and berries. Taste is semi-sweet and a little roast. Thin bodied with a dry, roast finish. Not bad.

Black body with a little white head. Chocolate aroma. Dry serviceable porter. A sipper as dry and bitter chocolate. Bit above average mouthfeel.
My bottle, brought back from top of the year LA trip.

Thanks Reg! for the the bomber. One of best Porters I’ve had, or should I say flavored Porter. Anyway, very enjoyable. Dark with a long lasting lite tan head. Big flavors, roasty malts with dominating chocolate and vanilla in the background. A mild sweetness and very smooth with good palate.

Bottle from Hi Time in Costa Mesa. Aroma and flavor were definitely a chocolate porter, but had quite a thin palate for my taste. Well made beer.

Mellow with a hint of espresso. Not as good as southern tier but does the job at an average bar.
