Jun 12, 2007 Growler from Brewpub: Dark black, nice tan head and great lacing. Nose of vegetal roast, light sweet molasses, some nuggat and cocoa. Light vanilla. The flavor is hot and steamy, nice bourbon and chocolate, some turpentine notes, very subtle though, almost soy saucish. Nice balance, many layers. Good.

May 23, 2007 Draft at brewpub: Dark brown pour with a modest tan head. Nose is sweet with bourbon, oak, and molasses. The taste is also sweet; bourbon, light on the roasted malt, molasses, and brown sugar. Bittersweet chocolate lingers in the tail. Overall quite enjoyable, just a bit sweeter than to be desired when compared to my ideal porter.

May 22, 2007 Growler from the brewpub. Big sweet chocolate and burbon aroma. Subdued roasted notes as well. Flavor was sweet but very robust. Soft roasted flavor and some coffee and milk chocolate. Lacking the sour ascidic character of most of the style. Soft carbonation and a fairly thin but very smooth palate. Thanks for bringing this one back, Jake.
