Nice thick head "cascades’ down the glass. Chocolate and malt thickness. coffee undertones. Medium hops clears the palate. Lacks the raisin and date sweetness that overplays many brews this strong. This is the fourth or fifth time I have had this beer. I like it more and more. Subtle strength.

Oct 10, 2008 Excellent stuff. Strong with a nuanced complex palate. I guess I am still learning to drink the stronger porters and stouts. This one I really enjoy.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Awesome tribute to Mr.Thompson. Pours a dark black body with a tan head. Roasted coffee, malty chocolate alcohol, a bit of oak and some hops to finish.

Oct 7, 2008 Black body with chocolate head and modestly carbonated. Enjoyable aromas of dark cocoa and coffee alcohol and deep roasted barley. Deep roast coffee alcohol flavor that does not overwhelm. Oaky flavors, though I do not believe this one is oaked. Chocolate-alcohol notes. Moderately-bodied. Packs a punch!

Oct 6, 2008 Kennett Square ’08. Not knowing anything about this one, I was caught totally off-guard by the hoppy blast that followed the roasted malt taste. It’s interesting but not something I’d reach for regularly.

Oct 5, 2008 slightly boozy, strong hint of licorice, best display of that nuance in a porter ive ever experienced. strong, but plesant, thick and inviting, well hopped besides it all and nicely bitter despite its comforting qualities.
