Draft. Nitro. Dark mahogony beer with a tan nitro head. Roasty chocolate aroma. Huge chocolate flavor that is just awesome. Lighter nitro body. Big dark chocolate lingers.

(Nitro Draft: San Diego Brewing Company in San Diego, CA) This very, very nice porter served on nitro is extremely toasty, moderately dark roasted, very chocolaty, lightly sweet, and fairly bitter especially in the finish; The palate is full bodied, very smooth, and fairly dry; The nose is moderately sweet, very toasty and chocolaty like cocoa puffs, but less sugary; Very dark brown in color, almost opaque, slightly ruddy at the edges; Light than head is sezeable, very creamy, and long lasting; Thick rings of dense lacing are left on the glass

Draught: Air filled with sweet cocoaness with a scoop of coffee ice cream..darkness glared at me..tanness hovered above..Roasted coffee beans w/ chocolate sprinkles and a couple pinches of sugar..Nice and full bodied w/ flavors filling the palate..Quite impressive & a satisfying departure from the garbagey sour porters that I have had recently
