Bottle from bigmmartin. Dark pour, nice head and good lacing. Malty aroma with some smokiness. Sweet with a smooth finish making this very drinkable but not fantastic in any way.

22oz Bottle from Douglas88. I think this is the first beer that I’ve had from this brewer. A nice surprise. Pours black, oily. Has a rich aroma of toasted malt. Flavor is a mix of sweet hints of caramel and more toasted malts. Has a bit of a bourbon, but nothing extreme. Well balanced, but slightly thin body. Not as full bodied as I expected from the appearance while pouring. Very nice porter though.

Bottle, thanks to Guerde for sharing. Pours a deep, dark brown with brown head. Aroma is mainly bourbon and cocoa with a hint of oak. Flavor is not as strong as the aroma and consists of bourbon, rich chocolate, roasted malts and tobacco. Mouthfeel is light for the style.

[Bottle, thanks Guerde!] Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is very nice. German chocolate cake (Eben nailed that one), along with coconut and brown sugar. The taste is harsh, acrid roasted malt, bourbon, and a little bitterness. Pretty thin with an alright finish. Overall the aroma on this was good, but the taste was a huge letdown.

Dark bronw pour with fomay off white head and lace. Caramel malt and light spice on the nose. Medicine, coffee and abv. Just a hint thin but pretty solid palate. Nice imperial porter.

Bomber shared by Enniskillen; Nose of bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, and a molassey note; black with a small, glass-lacing, cinnamon head; flavor is big bourbon, vanilla, light hop bitterness, and chocolate; smells super good but doesn’t quite taste up to the nose.
