| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 2, 2009 Bomber...dark brown to black body with a brown sugar colored head...bitter coffee aroma with some caramel...the lacing kind of sticks...its not dramatic, it just falls...thin body....I taste coffee, in a bitter form... a lot less flavor than I though it would be...a simple porter coffee + caramel....with a very mild bitter chocolate...its a shame it smells better than it tastes... in a few sips the finish is sour and metallic...good one timer, but wouldn’t seek it out...

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 3, 2009 Pours a dark brown, with a creamy, well-sustained off-white head - slightly yeasty nose, with notes of dry cocoa, roasted malts, light anise - semi-dry, with a creamy body that gradually develops a chalky texture - flavors of bittersweet chocolate, mild licorice, strong roasty flavors - develops a fairly strong bitterness for the style in the finish, but it works well with the more dry qualities of the beer - lingering tobacco notes, a touch of ash - a pretty decent porter. vtafro (475), , New Jersey, USA
