Courtesy Ibrew2or3, drunk at the Throwdown. Super dark brown color with a thin soapy head. Heavy malt and brown sugar in aroma; dark spice and some coffee, pepper. Silky palate with a slight hop finish that melds nicely with a raisiny spice flavor. Alcohol present in taste as well. Dark, heavy, and rich. My first Pizza Port, thanks Ibrew.

Pretty black pour with a tan head and lightly spotted lacing. Smell is roasted dark sugary malt and toffee. Flavor is nice and roasted and coffee filled. Bitter coffee hop finish. Not too heavy, a hint thinner than I expected but still nice. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

Big. Dark. Thick and tasty. Pours deep cola brown - almost black - with a tiny tan head. Chocolate, smoked meats and molasses on the nose. Dark, roasty, smoky malts are huge in the flavor, but it maintains a detectable hop presence and a good balance between sweet and bitter. Also strong notes of coffee, brown sugar and cacao. Surprisingly drinkable for this thick of a brew.

Bottle pours oily black with a thick tan head. Has nice aromas of mostly coffee with some bitter chocolate. Mouthfeel is thick and heavy. Taste follows my nose and has heavy coffee flavors, chocolate, molasses, and dark roasted malts. Overall this is a very tasty brew. Thanks Eric for sending it and to Brian for sharing.

Very dark motor oil pour. Burnt coffee and caramel flavors. Decent lace. Amazing balance. Alcohol is detectable. This 22oz bomber kicks hard after finishing it.

Black chocolate pour with little bubbles permeating and a brownish head. Coffee/mocha and roasted aromas. Coffee that blends into mocha and roast maltiness. Coffee bitter mellows as the beer warms. Finish with some faint charcoal. Some alcohol warmth for sure, but not bad or overpowering. Pretty much full bodied. Excellent, would love to get my hands on the older. Guessing it has more sweet tones and barrel.
