Big coffee roast aroma. Beige head. Black strong in alcohol and hoppy. Smooth on the palate with a little bitterness and dryness in a roast finish.

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 6, 2009 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.

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.

Oct 8, 2009 22oz bottle shared by riversideAK. Roasty robust malty chocolate nose with touches of coffee and Liquorice. Wow, very viscous on the palate. Deeply roasted and fairly sweet. Bitter sweet chocolate, with good bittering. Tons of depth going on here, yet drinkable. Nice stuff that I would say is under the radar.
