On tap at zeitgeist. Pint. $4.50. 1 finger head. Fades to nothing but a think coffee colored line. Black. Amber edges. Mild nuttiness and dark malts. Some vanilla. On the nose. Taste is roasted almost effervescent. Porter taste with more smoke and Oakiness. Solid carbonation. Medium body.

Draught at Toronado. Black with a low head. Nose of chocolate, Oreos, coffee, cream, oats, grains, and vegetables. Full and creamy, with light fruit. A bit too vegetal, but otherwise nice.

timfoolery (882) - California, USA - AUG 7, 2012
On tap at the Toronado. Aroma and flavor of light roast and cocoa. Very smooth and sharp...possibly one of the best palates I've ever had on a beer. Very good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

laiti (3924) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUL 18, 2012
Draught at Toronado, San Francisco
Aroma is light with some berries and hints of roasted malt. Flavour has roasted malt, some coffee and licorice. Quite empty and a bit watery finish with lingering roastiness. Also some hops. Easy-going, I like the roastiness here.

mrmartin (558) - Oakland, California, USA - JUN 20, 2012
Dark brown pour with thin tan head. Nose is perfect mix of coffee, roasted malts and hops. Light bodied and refreshingly easy drinking. Dry coffee-like finish. The porter-lager hybrid works very well here. Moonlight’s most popular beer and you can see why. Great drinking.

daknole (7193) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - JUN 15, 2012
Nice brew here. Brown color, tan head. Aroma is a cool mix of some lager yeast, coffee, roast and cocoa. The flavor has a smooth component but is bold with roast, light hops and the lager yeast. A toned down baltic porter is what I can easily compare it to.
