Oct 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours very dark ruby, nearly black, with a large, retaining light brown head. Aroma is full of roasted malt, coffee, vanilla and chocolate. Flavour is much the same as the aroma, without vanilla, but is very creamy, with a nice amount of bitterness. Mouthfeel is quite thick and creamy also and has a long-ish finish. A great porter in all respects.

Sep 23, 2009 A: Dark brown with a red hue. Not much light penetration. Big fluffy tan to light brown head. Had to let the beer settle a bit to fill the glass.
S: Lots of roasted malt, some dark fruits like plum and dark cherries, a little hop bitterness, some coffee and bitter chocolate.
T: Just like the smell lots of roasted malt flavors like coffee and chocolate. Slight bitterness but didn’t take away from the balance of the beer. A bit of fruit but not so significant. As I drank more I picked up a pleasant smokiness which complemented the roasty notes quite well.
M: At times the alcohol was more present. Quite thick but not overly stout. Good creamy texture.
D: With the heavy body/mouthful I could prob only drink one bomber of this. This it a beer that’s good for drinking with a nice burger or steak and savor the roasty complexity of the beer.

Sep 13, 2009 Bomber into a pint glass. Pours almost black but brown when held to the light with a huge dark brown head. Aroma is big coffee with some metal and lots of dark fruits. A couple more whiffs reveal nice hop character. The flavor is sweet and sour and ends with a nice combo 1-2 of dryness from hops and roasted malts. This reminds of a good stout in many ways. Quite tasty.
