Mar 10, 2009 Bottle shared by JCB. Actually, infected bottle shared with JCB, I think. Butterscotch/diacetyl all the way. Underneath, there seems to be a tasty beer there (some roasted malt notes), but not this bottle.

Mar 4, 2009 Bottle shared by JCB. Thanks Jason. Nose is strong butterscotch and some light roast and cocoa. Flavor is a bit more balanced with less butter. Okay, but it seems off.

Mar 4, 2009 22oz from tytoanderso - thanks, Tyler! For a moment it was as if this was one of the Cygnus tap series, infused with butterscotch! Yup, big diacetyl in the nose, though somehow it’s not totally out of place with the sweet chocolate malt aroma. Thin body with some reddish hues and prickly carbonation. Taste is fairly anonymous, and washes out quickly.

Feb 22, 2009 Dark brown with a nice tan head and decent lacing. Smoky coffee aroma. Very bitter aftertaste, almost disturbingly acidic. Slight chocolat aftertaste. This was way better than the pale ale but thats not saying much. Not my favorite porter.

Feb 8, 2009 Bomber courtesy of MatSciGuy. Pours light brown with a generous tan head. Smells of roasted malt, chocolate, some spice, raisins. Tastes of cocoa, chocolate, pepper, some bitterness. Good malt profile, but the carbonation in this one is strange.

Jan 25, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a deep clear brown with a minimal beige head. Aroma is dry, bittersweet chocolate, and some coffee and roasted barley notes. Flavor is roasted malt forward with quite a bit of chocolate and some yeast with a dry, roasty finish and a touch of tartness and astringency on the side of the tongue. Nicely carbonated, which is in contrast with the last few ratings which must have not been very good bottles, this one was quite nice.

Jan 14, 2009 Bottle from Jungle Jim’s.
Pours clear dark brown with a large frothy light brown head that was lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted biscuit malt and rye aroma. Medium body with a dry texrure and lively carbonation. Medium bitter & sour flavor with a bitter finish of an average duration.
My expectations where not met and I hope this was a bad bottle.
