5/8/08 notes: from bomber. Pours a dark brown with a brown head. Smells strongly of coffee beans and roasts. Flavor features a nice coffee base with bitter toasted notes. Medium thick palate. Light alcohol touch throughout that is still pleasant. Finishes dry, bitter, and of black coffee. Really enjoyable, a smooth porter with a generous coffee edge to it, this is a great beer to relax to at night.

Nov 1, 2008 Pours a three finger light tan head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Deep mahogany color. Roasted coffee nose. Light-medium carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Flavor is sweet roasted coffee, smooth but finishes as burnt coffee, still very drinkable. $3.94 for a 22oz bottle from Ruggeri & Sons Greenfield, MA.

Oct 29, 2008 Robust roasted malts with a slight amount of medicine aroma. Very dark amber color with a small tan head. Initial malt bitterness quickly taking on a roasted coffee flavor. Developing a slight amount of sweetness in the finish. Mildly thick palate.

Pours a light black to dark brown with a big fluffy beige head. Smell is wet cardboard like malt , and coffee. Taste is like a regular old cup of coffee, and dark roasty malt. Some mild bitterness, but still fairly smooth. Not a bad coffee beer, but not my favorite. Enjoyable.

Oct 24, 2008 22 shared with brie. It was on sale for 2.99 across the street here in Easthampton. The aroma and initial flavor is sweet coffee. The finish has a little chocolate and nuttiness. I’m glad that I can still get this one anytime because it’s great. BBC is is my favorite local brewery.
