Tall dark black bourbon color with a sizeable tan head and great lacing. The nose is lightly roasty with some sweet chocolate and faint coffee notes. A bit of bread and other fresh toasty malt notes. The flavor is a touch astringent, not as sweet as I was expecing but full bodied and rather full and explosive on the tongue. The finish is mellow and creamy with wisps of roast that trail the light hoppy bitterness that touches the back of your tongue. Drank this while fishing from a boat in the middle of a lake while it was very cold, rainy and windy. This added another layer of warmth.

Dark demi-murky brown with some light brown color at the edges of the glass. Medium sized tan head. Sweet sugar glazed bread (donuts?) and coffee scented. Semi-rich texture, first taste is sweet coffee and dry stout-ish malts, second taste over the tongue is very rich toffee, bourbon, dry malts and robust bread crust and chocolate. Very good stuff, very balanced. A highlight from this brewery.

Black with decent head retention. Roasted smoky aroma and a similar body. Robust, but medium bodied. Low roasted and tasty.

22oz bottle via trade with Indiana_Red - Thanks Ken! - Pours black with a full creamy tan head that stays well and laces the sides of the english pint pretty well on the way down. Aroma is mostly roasted toasty malt, light chocolate, and a little yeast. Flavor is a nice roasted toasty delight. Not over the top with chocolate but enough there to make it slightly sweet without overpowering. Nice full flavor that finishes with some faint bitter hops and a nice roasty aftertaste that lingers. Full bodied and smooth on the palate. A nice porter and a nice nightcap..

22 fl oz bottle@fonefan/Brugmansia’s Cnudde tasting. Pours dark brown with a reddish hue and a crispy tan head. Light citric dry aroma with a minor roasted malt note, mild infection. Flavour is dry roasted malt with a light coffee note. Finish holds an initial light citric note and a solid bitter roasted flavour following. Nice roasted and mild lingering finish.

Above average porter, mild in flavor, sweet, and rich, no distinct flavors stood out to me, but it did have a nice hop finish.
