Sep 16, 2008 Brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of deep roasted malts, coffee and a touch of sourness. Taste of roasted malt, mild chocolate with a lasting bitter finish. Nothing special here.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle; pours a dark black/brown with a light brown head. Aroma was heavy on roasted oats and caramel; some chocolate. Flavor was solid, but not spectacular. Roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Not the most pronounced flavors; mouthfeel was rather bland as well. Easy to drink, but easily forgettable as well.

Jul 18, 2008 Light roasted malt, chocolate and coffee- basic aroma, but with a hint of unclean offness about it. Not drastically off, but enough to distract. The body is dark brown to black and holds a thick mocha head. Very mild tart notes on the first sip, followed by chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, cocoa and caramel. Decent full mouth feel. Tastes and smells just a tadd off.

Jun 30, 2008 22 ounce bottle from Johns in PDX--Poured an abysmal black-brown body with a nice looking beige head. Nose of roasted malts and chocolate. Flavor was a little lacking and finish was a bit dull. Very easy to drink. I probably need to revisit this one soon.

Jun 21, 2008 Poured from a 22-oz bottle into an English Pint glass. Appeared a coffee color with a nice, fluffy brown head. The nose was of roasted chocolate malt. Tase of bittersweet chocolate with a faint background of roasted coffee.

Jun 12, 2008 This brew pours a dark chocolate brown, borderline black with a tan head. Pretty large. Aromas of coffee and tree bark. Taste of burned coffee and almonds, roasted marshmallows and hersheys chocolate. As good as it tasted, the mouthfeel was a little light then what i look for in a porter, and the nose a bit weak as well.

Apr 10, 2008 Bomber. Poured clear, deep reddish-brown with a short cap of beige head. The aroma picked up semi-sweet, well-toasted caramel and chocolate notes with a bit of tea and brown sugar sweetness to round it out. The flavor settled in nicely with roasted darker chocolates at the core.. molasses and caramel rolled over the edges.. earth, coffee, and pine bitterness converge at the sweeter finish.. very well balanced. Medium-bodied, sweet, and roasty on the palate.. enjoyed the long roasty final impression.

Apr 8, 2008 Bomber. Pours a dark brown with a thick beige head. The aroma is mostly a coffee and somewhat sweet aroma. The flavor is full of coffee beans, malt, some odd sweetness too, I guess it’s chocolate. Not bad, but not my favorite porter. But I do love porters.
