Apr 1, 2009 Bomber. Pours a quite dark purplish brown with large sticky beige head. The aroma is pipe tobacco, caramel, molasses, marshmellows, and just a touch of ash. The flavor is sweet with caramel, prune, and milk chocolate. There are some notes of char and wood in there, but they are behind the sweeter tones. A bit of a spicy and earthy hop tinge comes out toward the finish, just enough to keep the sweetness at bay. The aftertaste is ash and chocolate, and fades slowly. The mouthfeel is slick and goes down the throat very, very smoothly. Very good beer. I could down a few of these.

Mar 31, 2009 Bomber. Pours black with a dense one-finger latte-colored head. Holding the beer to a strong light reveals a ruby red interior. Enticing aromas of chocolate, coffee, dark roasted malt and light smoke. The taste is even better - lots of semi-sweet chocolate, dark roasted coffee and a hint of oak. A pleasant bitterness from the generous quantity of hops lingers on the tongue and balances the beer nicely. The body is moderately thick and smooth, with no detectable carbonation. This is a terrific porter - I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Mar 11, 2009 A decent sessionable porter that I would never have know about without my Portland trading partner, Chewy. Thanks man! Aroma was so so. A slight alcoholic mix of roasted chocolate malt and cereal. Pour was a nice deep dark brown with a light tan ring around the top for a head. Taste was a little thin and light but good. A little oily, with chocolate malt and coffee in the front and a wet watery aftertaste. All in all an OK beer.

Mar 6, 2009 Roasted malt aroma with maybe some molasses and florals.
Pours a pitch black color, minimal tan head, evident sediment in bottle, and can’t see the action.
Roasted malt taste, with coffee, some chocolate, butter background, and mild hop florals.
Full bodied, resinous, bready, buttery, with soft carbonation.
Session Porter that is well balanced.

Mar 1, 2009 22 ounce bottle thanks Kegbear poured into a pint glass. A nice dark pour that is reddish dark.
Good aroma. kind of malty with a bit of chocolate in the aftertaste. A bit thin for a porter in my opinion but damn good nonetheless

Feb 27, 2009 22 w/ mpersinger. Pours dark brown with off-white head. Oaky flavor with some oats (which I had noted a wheat taste), some chocolate, some roasted aspects, seemingly light bodied and just was not robust enough, if at all.
