Jun 14, 2009 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.

Dec 13, 2006 I was very pleased to see Pizza Port enter the MA market, with that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on some of their delicious beers. This offering from Port Brewing pours a black clear body probably closer to very dark brown but looks black in this light leaving a thin tan head that disappears. The aroma is chocolate, earthy hops, floural, malted milk, this smells and has characterisitc of a milk/oatmeal stout but lets taste. Wow, so sweet upfront really boozey but under control. The alcohal hits the palate upfront then moves to a bitter chocolate sweetness that finishes hoppy and just a bit of a bite from hoppy bitterness and alcohal. Great job on this one stock up!

Jan 26, 2007 Midnight black color with no carbonation. Looks like oil. Smell of chocolate, rasberries, cherries, coffee, cake, oak, malt and hops. Taste of caramel, hops, malt, chocolate, nuts, alcohol, bitters, tart cherries, prunes, and hints of oak/wood. Great bitterness at the end. This is a great beer for my 300th rating! Thanks Brewblackhole!

Sep 25, 2008 Lovely pour, used motor oil black pour with a lovely chocolate colored head. Aroma of earth, dark malts, with some sweetness. Lots of hops just beneath the other flavors. What a blast of oily thick flavors from burned malts, sweetness, hops, followed by a long finish that is austere to dry at the tail end. There is an abundance of heavy dark rich just ripe stone fruits, wood, vegetal hops, and sherry/marsala. This is an imperial stout of world class. I am impressed and look forward to my next bottle.

Feb 15, 2009 Updated: Feb 17, 2009bottled: A nice black pour with a thin head. The aroma, chocolate with a hint of bourbon. Taste was burnt malt with bourbon accents and a slight bitterness finished with a slight alcoholic burn. Very pleasant over all. I will seek this one out again.
