Mar 29, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a bit of a tan head. Some roasted malt and a good bit of chocolate in the aroma. The flavor is pretty straight forward porter with a bit of cherry sweetness at the finish. Not bad but nothing spectacular.

Mar 26, 2009 Honestly, as a resident of DC and having been at our newest President’s historic inaugeration I was sorta pumped to try this. Pours a deep brown, nearly black with a slightly brown head. Aroma is slightly malty, but also some dark fruits and maybe a touch of coffee. Flavor is also malty, some chalky dark chocolate, some light caramel and a little bit of nuts. Flavor is only slightly thick but fairly clean.

Mar 19, 2009 Dark brown / black with a brown heaad. Taste is like a chocolate cherry cordial dissolved into a porter. Easy drinking with a light, sour, slightly cloying aftertaste. A success . $6/pint

Mar 16, 2009 Draft at Capone’s: Poured a dark brown/black with a nice tan head. The aroma was dark fruits, bitter chocolate and coffee. The flavor was strong coffee, caramel and roasted chocolate. Overall, another beer worth drinking from Ommegang.

Mar 14, 2009 Growler shared by WeeHeavySD at the Bruery (stopped by en route to the airport). Pours a murky brown with a small, tan head. Aroma of chocolate, dark fruits, coffee and a touch of smoke. Taste is chocolate with smoke and some sweet cherry syrup, wood and dark fruits. Smooth mouthfeel, light carbonation. Thanks Jon!
