| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 18, 2006 Basically black in colour. Lightly roasty, lots of chocolate in the aroma with a moderately earthy hop signature. Really toasty flavour, like a toasted bagel, with a bit of light nuttiness. Thins out as it goes. Has not as of yet caught up to its predecessor at Druids. BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 28, 2009 Bomber. Poured deeper reddish-brown with just a light dusting of beige head. The aroma picked up sweeter, roasty black patent malts and lesser chocolate with a looming sour metallic character beneath. The flavor was mostly dry-roasted black patent with mild coffee bitterness surrounding.. the sourness was there again, and while not overwhelming, it didn’t help a bit.. finished with generic roasty black malts and metal. Medium-ish bodied and dry on the palate with off notes from was seems to be an infection.. the baddies didn’t completely wreck it, but it just wasn’t a very good porter.
