Jun 5, 2008 Brewed 13 dec 2005. Swing top bottle from HenrikB. Beer is almost black and opague. Cream, milk chocoalte and coffee in the aroma, you can smell the beer from a distance. Full bodied. Very malty and sweet with chocolate milk, cream, licorice, coffee and warming alcohol. Thick and muddy, almost like chocolate milk. Absolutely delicious.

Apr 25, 2008 500ml flip top bottle acquired in trade (thanks!). Bottle labeled BB 12/1/2010 & Produced on 12/13/2005. Flip top opened to a nice ’Pop’. Poured a dark, dark black color with a smaller sized brown head. Aromas of chocolate, dark fruits, molasses, roast, nuts, and smoke. Tastes of chocolate, nuts, wood, lightly fruity, roast, and smoke. Alcohol content well hidden.

Apr 24, 2008 Poured an opaque black color with a thin, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of oxidation, roast, chocolate, dark fruits, nuts, and some wood. Taste of roast, smoke, soy, more bitter nuts, chocolate, and light alcohol. A bit thin, possibly due to the aging. Thanks Steve!

Jan 14, 2008 From a 500mL Bottle. Generously shared by cquiroga. Pitch black, opaque pour with only a wispy trace of tannish head. Rich, powerful aroma of charred prunes and gobs of other dark fruit, mostly raisin and plum. A hint of meaty smoke wafts from the background, along with some molasses sugars. Medium bodied, nearly still carbonation. Flavors of white chocolate and caramel melanoidins appear first on the palate, followed closely by notes of molasses and a darker, bourbony chocolate. A silky smooth pumpernickel bread malt body is seasoned by some black licorice stick. There’s almost a hint of saltiness in there too, leaving the impression of a freshly baked pretzel. A soft, refined roast/coffee character also comes out near the finish. The decadent, complex, condensed flavors linger on pleasantly in the final smack. Simply amazing porter. Thanks for sharing, Chris!

Sep 9, 2007 Blind tasting at sk8vikings porter / stout tasting, beer no 27. Pours dark brown to black with a rim from a brown head. Quite burbon dried malty aroma. Full bodied. Clear liqourice flavour, mellow, malty with a dark chocolate whiff. Very nice.
