Commercial Description:
Definitely not your Dad's Wimpy 30 weight. An enormous & luscious dark ale that's as opaque and dark as the most well used motor oils.

Pours dark brown with a small, light brown head with ok lacing. The aroma is of chocolate, plums, and rasins. The flavor is of bitter black coffee with notes of chocolate, dark fruits, caramel and wood (oak.) Starts somewhat sweet but finishes bitter. The texture is creamy. Somewhat harsh at first but once I got used to it, it was heavenly. Overall i’d say its a good beer with a very aggressive flavor: not for beginners.

2008 Bottle - Pours dk brown, motor oil, decent brown head...aroma is brown sugar malt, oak and a bit of smoke...flavour blew me away, terrific balance of bitter/malt/alcohol...didn’t even know it was 10% until afterwards...my first taste of Pizza Port and set the bar unbearably high...

Tasted @ the Uber Tavern in Seattle.
Black colored brew. Chocolate malts, dark fruits in the aroma. Oak, bourbon, chocolate malts, coffee and roasted, smoked flavor. Smooth and creamy. Nice.

22 oz. btl from Bevmo. First thought: Is this a bad bottle? There’s no carbonation AT ALL. It poured thick and black, and flat like a (insert your joke here. I cannot). I poured the last half rough to get any reaction. I got an 8th of an inch of dark foam that was gone quickly. Barely any residue left. I’m scared to try it because I don’t want to find out it’s bad. Here goes. Smell is deep and malty. Coffee. Thick, pungent, and thank God, it’s good. Definite alcohol taste on 2nd drink, that wasn’t there on first one. My tongue is going numb. This is one f’ing strong tasting beer. Ilike it.

Pours thick. Nice smoky aroma, the bourbon barrel aging softens the alchohol. Good roasted grains, chocalate almost like a good imp. stout.

A nice ale that is very roasty and burnt. A bit thin tasting to me, but it was nice due to the high alcohol. I kept getting some crisp dark bread flavor.

22oz. bottle. Pours a dark, dark black, very little head. Smells of dark fruit, very strong. Wow, that’s a powerful taste, just coats the tongue with all sorts of flavor, heavy and slightly sweet, I love it.
