General Lafayette Double Thunder

Thanks to axilla for sharing. I had no idea this beer existed. Extremely dark black body with a medium dark brown head but I was drinking this in the twilight so of course it looked black as death. Moderately boozy rich dark chocolate, chocolate syrup and moderately strong roast, the mouthfeel is a bit syrupy, but in a really nice smooth way, while the alcohol (tasted like bourbon!) was a little high or too apparent but didn’t take anything away. In fact it hit the spot. Complex, rich chocolate and charred fruit flavors, even some dark roast coffee in there as well. An awesome Baltic Porter, and one I was happy I got a chance to try.

Vintage 2003, sampled July 2006. A pitch black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma contains lots of chocolate, madeira, and over ripe fruits, as well as light notes of oxidation and licorice. The flavor is sweet with a strong malt presence and notes of over ripe fruits alcohol, madeira, raisins, and chocolate as well as a light oxidation.

25oz bottle from basement at brew pub.2005 version. Pures very dark brown with no head or carbonation. Smell of coffee, brown sugar, and roasted malts. Taste mildy sweet with coffee, roasted malty flavors throughout.The body was kind of thin but o.k. The flavors dissapers fast and leaves and dry hoppy aftertaste.

@ brewpub. Poured a dark mahogany/black body with a foamy tan head. The aroma was sweet milk chocolate, cherries, and light coffee and cream. Flavors were hershey bars with coffee and cream. Some berries and sweet smoke in the finish. Very thick and oily mouthfeel. I Love This Beer!

Soy, sugar and liquorice notes to the roasted malt aroma with some light fruitiness. Opaque dark brown body with a low tan head that recedes slowly but completely. Chocolate flavour has some nice fruitiness and a pleasantly roasty finish. Medium body with low carbonation and some alcohol warming. Sampled on tap at the brewpub with beerbuzzmontreal, MartinT, Rastacouere and Yowie.
