Brewed for the early risers, who sacrifice sleep and warmth for a the first meeting of the day aboard a wave to shore.
Added in 2013 to the Port Brewing year-round lineup, Board Meeting is an amplified Brown Ale, brewed with liberal additions of coffee from local San Diego roasters, Ryan Brothers and cocoa nibs sourced from famed San Francisco chocolate maker TCHO. Deep coffee flavor gives way to layers of bitter dark chocolate and a creamy vanilla body.

Bottle - Dice dark roast coffee bean and some hazelnut. Deep brown with a nice light brown head. Chocolate, light nutty notes and some nice coffee notes. Lots of nice balanced notes and flavors for a coffee beer. Nice.

Bottle, Beer Moth, Manchester. As always quality label art from Port. Dark brown pour with a small creamy tan head. Roasted malt, coffee and dark choc notes in the nose. Sweet flavour with similar traits to the nose. Fullish mouthfeel, gentle carbonation. Dry bitter finish. Not my favourite offering from this crew, but its not without some charm.

Bottle, 10C. Dark brown with a light tan head that lasts pretty well. Mocha aroma with roasted malt, some dark berries. Sweet with chocolate syrup, lots of pretty nice coffee. Some mild herbal bitterness comes in at the end, but it’s the coffee that ties it together at the end. Coffee is doing too much of the work here - it pretty dull for its strength aside from it.

Stable brown-tan head over deep brown beer, nearly black. Chocolate, coffee, coffeedrab and dried herbs. Sweet coffee, with chocolate - cappucino without cream? Hint of charcoal impression, but sugared, as the coffee. Very slick to viscous; medium bodied at best, feels well-carbonated. Brown ale usually isn’t very complex. This is a couple of steps upped.

Keg at Port/Lost Abbey tasting room, 18/04/14. Light black with a moderate tan covering that dissipates to pencil thin edgeing. Nose is cocoa powde, coffee grinds, sweet notes, light roast, dark fruit. Taste comprises dark malts, coffee more prominent, cocoa nibs, light roast, sweet licks, hint of spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough strong, nicely pitched coffee interaction.
