On draft a the Lost Coast Brewpub in Eureka, CA this poured a dark brown with fluffy tan head and lots of lacing. Good start. Nose is roasted malts with chocolate, coffee and some earthy hops. Mouthfeel very rich and smooth. Flavor of roasted malts and chocolate. Mild bitter finish. Good porter and best if allowed to warm up a bit.

Jul 18, 2008 Draft at Mr. Dunderbak’s in Tampa. The aroma is chocolate, roast malt and hints of cocoa and fruity esters, but with a light, unwelcome, tartness. The body is dark brown to black and holds a diminishing tan head. First sip is sickly sweet and tangy tart like overripe fruit. Mild roast malt, coffee and chocolate follow. Just tastes a little off.
