Solid blackness, with a rich, tan, lace-leaving head. Looking just like a good stout should.
Does it smell like a good stout should? Yes, it does. Dry 'n' roasty. Little bit of cocoa powder, cola, rye bread, anise.
In the mouth, it's a highly pleasing thing. Full-bodied and slightly filling, rich and hearty. Here's a stout without any fancy tricks up it's sleeve, no extra ingredients, no barrel-aging or additions, just good old stouty goodness. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Good and dry, and pretty easy to push down the gullet. Commodore gets a bony thumb up from me for a good ol' reg'lar drinkin' stout.
And it's great to see one of these San Diego breweries do something that has nothing to do with hops.
