Sampled a pint on a hot day in Solana Beach.

Ruby at the bottom, black at the top. The bartender blasted the glass full of foam, let it subside, and topped it up. It has a great thick offwhite creamy head that leaves a nice Belgian lace on the glass.

The nose was actually kinda fruity. There was a soft roasted note in the aroma, but definitely either there were a ton of esters, which I don't think fits the style.

The taste began with a nice dose of roastiness. Bitterness seemed to be mostly from the roast/burnt grains. Then it gives way to some fruitiness. The end is thick and sweet. It didn't strike me as coming off very clean and round. Alcohol content pretty high and pretty noticeable.

Even after a hot day, this was a pleasant brew, and went great with the BBQ chicken pizza. I'm no expert, but I felt like it could pass as a robust porter.
