From the brewer

Brewed for the early risers, who sacrifice sleep and warmth for the first meeting of the day aboard a wave to shore. Board Meeting is steeped with San Diego’s own Ryan Brother’s Coffee and cocoa nibs from San Francisco chocolatiers’ TCHO, creating a dark brown ale with deep layers of roasted coffee, dark chocolate and spicy nuttiness.

Who's been drinking this

Great brown. Caramel on the mouth, leading to chocolate and coffee beer
Draft
Very robust, super-thick mouthfeel, not unlike hot chocolate -- darker & thicker than most porters (or stouts!). Quite a bit of bitterness from coffee and cocoa, but unlike most beers this dark, there doesn't seem to be much from the roasted malts.
Thickish in taste, roasty bitterness present.
