had a bottle of this at Brouwer’s Cafe in seattle before the Fremont Oktoberfest... somewhat toward the beginning of a long day of drinking. opaque black-brown pour with a small tan head. coffee, toffee and dark fruits in the aroma. light bitter coffe taste - with hints of tobacco. thin feel and yet chewy somehow. great even long bitter finish. great stuff -- sipping brew though.

22 oz. of pure heaven. The label is hilarious and I like ’em dark! This triumph from Port Brewing makes a nice meal.

22oz bomber. Pour looks like oil with a medium brownish head that quickly dissipated. Nose had candy and molasses. Flavor was more subtle and less sweet than i expected. It’s very nice, highlighted by chocolate, licorice, and a bitter hop/roasted malt finish.

A opaque black colored beer, with a thick foamy dark beige head. The aroma of chocolate, with dark fruits and roasted malts. The taste of pure chocolate, with hints of vanilla. Dark fruits, roasted malts, some liqourice flavors. Bitter with notes of sweet. The aftertaste of chocolate with liqourice lingers on.

22 oz. bomber from Applejack in Denver. This tastes more like a stout (reminiscent of Bell’s Expedition) than an ale. It is wonderful! I concur with most of the descriptive adjectives below and won’t repeat them. The label is a hoot! Kind of pricey (8 bucks), but worth it.

The cap accidently opened in a bike accident. 30 min later, when half the bottle had ran out, i sampled it at home. Very dark brown look with a minimal brown head (probably due to the accident) Great aroma! What struck me first was milky chocolate followed by salty liquirice, olives and alchohol. Flavor is close to something i’ve been looking for in awhile, whithout knowing exactly what it was. The beer flavors just explode, like english liquirice, then its mixed with toffee sweetness thats just awsome! Mild burned bitterness and a very warming alchohol. Glad i atleast managed to bring half a bottle safe home...

Bottle Pours a good black with a dark tan head. The head is creamy and lasting. Produces very good lacing. Has a great aroma of caramel, toffee, chocolate, and coffee. Has a good carbonation and a wonderful mouthfeel. The flavor is great. Aperfect mix of hops and malts. Has a thick texture. A real good finish and an aftertaste that stays with you for what feels like days. This is an awesome beer that I have come to expect from Port Brewing. Very well done.
