On tap at Rock Bottom La Jolla.

A: Black as a moonless, starless night with a frothy light brown head.
 
S: Strong roasted grain presence with notes of earth and blackstrap molasses. Dark chocolate accompanies coffee and a touch of licorice.

T: Rich dark chocolate with pronounced blackstrap molasses and a firm roasted malt presence. Coffee is strong throughout. There's an upper low to lower medium level of earthy bitterness.

M: Full body with medium carbonation. The mouthfeel is creamy and silky.

Overall: A very nice Robust Porter.

Big and tasty-- everything you'd want a Porter to be. Plenty of black malt with just a touch of sour charcoal in the aftertaste. Smooth and slick on the tongue. Nice nose of roast barley. Pleasantly sweet and malty at first taste. Shades into chocolate darkness. Ends with some fruit and the slightest bitterness. Makes you want to keep sipping. This might actually deserve the adjective "velvety" that is so overused.

On tap at Local Habit in San Diego. This won gold at 2011 GABF in Category 74 Robust Porter.

On tap at Rock Bottom La Jolla. I wasn't at the bar, but the description implied it was a nitro tap.

Dark pour with a creamy light tan head, about a finger thick. Very nice aroma of light roasted malts and sweet cream. Taste is pretty much the same. No discernible hops, and not too complex overall, but it is a very tasty beer. Medium-bodied and quite smooth. Easy to drink too; I made sure to have a couple of these.
