PaulHegedus (64), Brampton, Ontario, Canada Sep 2, 2008 Draught at Magnolia Brewpub on Haight St. in San Francisco, July 2008. Cask. This struck me as watery. The usual chocolate, coffee aroma plus some licorice; coffee seems light in both aroma and flavour. Black in colour, light in bitterness. bb (2088), Martinez, California, USA Aug 28, 2008 Draft. Brown/black beer with a tan head. Chocolate and light roast aroma. Chocolate, light roast flavor with some acrid malt. Medium body. Acrid malt lingers with chocolate, roast, and slight coffee. NoiZe (904), Zeist, Netherlands Aug 11, 2008 Tasted @ the Magnolia Pub and Brewery in SF.
Black colored brew. Nice malty bitterness. Chocolate, coffee, hoppy. Nice one! bhensonb (2880), Woodland, California, USA Apr 26, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Toasted malt aroma. Dark opaque black color with no real head. Near medium body with minimal carbonation. Light roast (touch of toast) malt with floral bitter and a hint of coffee. Finishes dry, but not astringently so. Really rather refreshing in a dark way. Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Apr 14, 2008 On cask at the brewpub. As expected, this is a dark black beer, but there’s barely a head, even on cask. Coffee reigns here, with a bitter finish. Thinner than I’d expect from a cask porter, but the flavor saves the day.
