Description
As San Diego's first and only Brewery/Winery/Restaurant, we pride ourselves on putting everything we have into the things we do and push the boundaries of creative products to share with our guests.
Our beers are focused on drinkability, merging inspirational flavors from our restaurant and winery to create one of a kind products.
Our tasting room is attached to our restaurant, The Cork and Craft. We're open every day except for Monday, including lunch during the work week, and brunch on Sundays. We not only offer our own beers on tap, but many other guest beers from around the world that we share our 40 taps with. We feature flights of our own beers which can be enjoyed in the bar, restaurant or on our heated outdoor patio.
Come in for the beer, stay for the food, and discover your Abnormal side.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is date forward with some moderately string chocolate notes and some lighter roast notes. Medium light vanilla notes with some hints of honey. Light coffee notes. Nice graham cracker malt notes. Pours black with a small, thick, mocha head that recedes to the edges where it lingers for quite some time. No lacing and long legs. Flavor is moderately sweet with some medium date notes. Moderate coffee notes with some light acidity. Light vanilla notes with some honey and faint burnt sugar. Moderate chocolate and slightly lighter roast notes. Medium bourbon notes and hints of oak. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Medium low astringency and low, but present alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer with great malt notes and balanced adjuncts. The astringency is a bit too strong though.

Draft. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and abit of soy sauce, leading to a dry roasted finish.
