Nov 5, 2009 Thanks hophead75 for shooting this one my way. Pours a dark brown allowing light and donning a two finger creamy light tan head. The nose is sweet, lightly smoky, definitely some chocolate, a little bitter coffee, nice hop aroma. Flavor is chocolaty, showcases a prominent bitterness, sweet, mildly astringent, roasted coffee. Palate is bitter and roasty.

Nov 1, 2009 07/28/09 Bomber from VBM $4.99. Pours an opaque very dark brown/black with a medium sized khaki head. Decent lacing. Hoppy initial aroma with chocolate, coffee and sweet roasted malts, slight alcohol. Semi-sweet chocolate, caramel, hoppy flavor. Not too bitter. Medium bodied, smooth beer. Alcohol finish. Damn good.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a small light tan head. Aroma of wood, roasted malt, bitter hops. Flavor of parmesean cheese, roasted malt, some smoke. Hmm, I just didn’t find this beer very complex or interesting. It was just an average porter for me, mediocre at best.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of milk, smoke, chocolate, hops. Flavor metallic, charred, oddly bitter. A bit chalky. Medium body. Guess I’m against the grain on this one.

Oct 30, 2009 22oz. bomber, with thanks to j12601 for the great bonus! Pours a little lighter brown with a large fluffy tan head that leaves great lacing. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, coffee, and roasty malts. Flavor is some bittersweet chocolate, coffee, caramel and some ripe dark fruits. Very easy drinking and enjoyable, and enough complexity to be interesting without going overboard. LT sure seems to be doing some good stuff up there in VT, thanks again Jay!

Oct 27, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown/black with small beige head. Aroma of toffee, toast, chocolate, and smoke. Flavors of toffee, toast, tobacco and chocolate. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Big body but not too sticky. Assertive and not pretentious. Wonderful.

Oct 25, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a 1/2" creamy beige head. Aroma is light coffee, roasted malt and dark chocolate. Full bodied with a smooth, silky palate. Flavor mimics the aroma, not much to add there. Nice, enjoyable porter.
