VTHopHead (700), Barre, Vermont, USA Sep 19, 2008 Bomber - Poured a very dark brown in color with a foamy medium light tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts and a hint of chocolate... slightly sour too. "Sparkly" carbonation... almost too much for this style beer. Flavor is a mix of roasted malts, a small amount of chocolate and a bit of hoppy bitterness. Finish is slightly bitter. Too thin. OK, but not that distinctive. Sammy (3135), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 16, 2008 By far their best beer in the lineup this night. It has even been bottled. Dark with some mocha head. Chocolate in aroma and tasted on the tongue. Detracting is the lower than medium mouthfeel, and active carbonation. Its one-trick pony with the chocolate stirred around.
beerbuzzmontreal (2747), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Sep 20, 2007 Pours a jet black color with a medium light brown head. Good aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor has no surprises, chocolate and roasted malt, a bitter finish, if not original this is a good, competent porter. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. Angeloregon (2002), Portland, Oregon, USA May 9, 2007 Thanks to Joshua and Buck in Ithaca! At first presented an almost bourbon or chocolate liqueur nose. Deep almost opaque black, brown color. Small off white head. Nose developed into a more hoppy mellow chocolate syrup scene. Milk chocolate effervenscence and flavor. finishes with dry chocolate bitterness. Decent brew. hophead75 (1680), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Apr 13, 2007 sampled at the brewpub. Dark brown in color. Aroma- chocolate, light roast/coffee, slight chalk. Taste is the same, with a lightly astringent finish. best of the beers I had at this brewpub.
