Oct 3, 2009 Poured black. Nose is roasted malt, mild smoke, dark ripe fruit, bread, mild tannins, some cocoa and coffee. Nice bourbon and booze. Flavor is soft bourbon with vanilla notes, sweet malts, dark chocolate, big roast, mild coffee. Very nice.

Apr 30, 2009 Black pour with a near black head. Seriously dark for a beer. Up front coffee and bourbon aroma. Flavor lends some licorice, cherry, oak, more coffee, chocolate, and caramel. Just a tad thin, noticeably boozy but not in a bad way.

Jul 8, 2008 Wow! More oak than bourbon - lots of dark roasted maltiness. Flavor has notes of chocolate, tannin, charcoal, sugar and a little pine. Nose is bourbon, however. Finish is very sesame ending on a sweet and slightly salty note.

Aug 15, 2008 On tap @ San Diego Brewing Company. Wow, what a great surprise this was. I haven’t had a beer that made me say "wow" in a while. Deep, rich dark color. Flavor is smooth, velvety porter goodness. Incredibly smooth. Barrel aging was there, but rather light. Would have liked to taste the bourbon a little more, but thats just me. Still, a stellar brew.

Dec 26, 2008 Thanks to Kegbear or this one. Pour ws thick engine oil with a lovely dark tan head. Aroma of alcohol, chocolate, and much sweet malt. Very full body with strong sweet malt, great roasted characters, and a light coffee bitterness at the finish. Very well blended but a bit thick for a porter. I would call this an imperial stout. Either way, great brew. Would love to age this guy for a couple years.

Dec 13, 2009 Bomber from kegbear. XX vintage. Pours almost black with one finger tan head. Aroma is bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, caramel, roasted malts and light coffee. Flavor is smooth and complex with chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, wood, light coffee, caramel and light smoke. Can definitely taste the bourbon is not harsh at all. Really smooth for a BA porter. Mouthfeel was thick and creamy and really coated the glass. This was really good and I wish I had another bottle. I had this right before Noreaster and Black Butte blew it out of the water.

Aug 14, 2009 22 oz. Picked up at John’s Marketplace in Portland. Nice black beer; dark black with a head that fades away slowly. Slight chocolate head. For a porter, this beer is amazing. Huge roast/bourbon aroma. I have never smelled a porter like this before. Very pungent beer. Slight vanilla aroma as well. Very nuanced aroma. Not my favorite beer, but for the style this thing is amazing. Huge roast flavor. This beer is bitter due to the amount of coffee it has in it. Wow, this is a bitter/roasty imperial strong porter. Palate is a bit thin for an imperial strong porter. Such a great cominbation of malt and roast. One of the best roast and malt flavors I have ever had.
