July 22nd, 2015 - The aroma on this building block brew is a light met note, and in the taster it looks a but like a shot of soy sauce, with a cedar colored head and a very dark body. The flavor is pretty straightforward, with a good malty taste. It is both deep and sweet, with a pitch perfect reflection of roasted vegetables spiced with black licorice candy.

[Original rating 2014-12-29] Tap (cask) at London Bridge pub Monterey CA. Decent porter. Aroma of peat, smoke, earth. Taste of roasted malt, a bit sweeter in the finish.

Had a glass at the C Bar in Monterey, CA. It's not the biggest, or richest porter, but it's got a pleasant roasted barley cocoa taste with a smooth, lightly sweet base. There's definitely a candy-like English yeast character, but like I said, it's not a sweet beer this is quite drinkable and worth a try.

I had this on tap in Monterey.
Essentially black, but not quite entirely black, with a small foamy ring soon thinning more.
Aroma is very mild, simple roasty with faint fruity coffee.
Taste is better, light roastiness, coffee, lightly sweet fruitiness (prune & dark raisin), hint of rootiness. It's fairly simple but very solid and enjoyable, and holds up well. Feel is good but fairly average.
