Bottle. Pours a deep, dense black with a nice, creamy deep beige head. Aroma is a thin ribbon of roasted chocolate bits, dark chocolate, and a touch of coffee ground. Flavor is a chocolate and coffee covered roasted raspberry, with a nice finish of regular coffee. Mouthfeel initially is scratchy but finishes thick and coating. A pleasant surprise from this brewer.

Dec 12, 2009 Bomber - black pour, with a thick, sticky, dark tan lacing - semi-sweet, doughy aroma, with chocolate, vanilla, some char - creamy, medium-bodied - nice balance of sweetness, roast, and touches of black malt and hop bitterness - espresso, cocoa, vanilla beans - a bit of blueberry and other subtle fruity notes - hard to tell if this is lagered or not, but it is certainly smooth (real smooth, mike! - it’s got all sorts of flavors and notes!) - alcohol warmth in the finish, and some lingering coffee-like bitterness, as well as a bit of tobacco leaf - refreshingly understated for an imperial porter.

Nov 17, 2009 Bomber. Pours like an imperial - viscous and black, foamy tan head. There’s a big plum note in the nose, along with chocolate, raisins, licorice. Deep chocolate/fruit presence in the flavor, along with some small coffee tones and a little bit of bitterness. Overall a malt-dominated brew, heavy and very pleasant. Drinking a bomber of this was really pleasant.

Nov 5, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours black with a moderate slow dissipating head tan head. No lacing. Tastes of roasted barley with moderately bitter hops. I prefer the fuller taste of an imperial stout, but this is good for a strong porter.
