0.5L bottle from Beer World of Largo, FL. Wow, poured viscous burnt motor oil with mocha head. Nice aroma with dark fruit mixed with toffee, chocolate, coffee, burnt malts and sweet molasses. As the beer warmed the aroma became more noticeable an inviting with a bigger burnt malt tone. The taste starts with a velvety mouth feel. The flavor is full and rich. I taste some light-dark fruitiness along with sweet molasses first. Then the malts pounce and stomp out the fruitiness with burnt malts, chocolate malts, toffee, coffee and more burnt malts. Just delicious. This is a bottle conditioned beer but I see no need to cellar it much. It seems pretty darn awesome right now. It leaves a very tasty toffee and burnt malt flavor in the after taste.

Jan 6, 2009 Bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. Poured so thick I thought I was drinking an imperial stout. Tasted of chocolate and roasted malts. Smooth and creamy on the palate. I was a bit skeptic about the 8.50 price tag for a bomber, but it was well worth it.

Jan 4, 2009 This is hands down the best porter I have ever had. Chocolate creamy smoothness. If I didn’t know it was a porter I would swear it was a stout.This beer was so dangerously creamy and smooth it was like drinking chocolate milk. Nice tan head excellent nose and the taste is something that leaves you wanting more. This is without a doubt the best porter you would ever want to consume NOTHING else comes close. RECOMMEND.

Jan 3, 2009 Truly impressive beer. Pours black with a dark leather colored head. Nose full of char, smoke, coffee, and sweet licorice hops. Notes of coffee, hops, dark toast, oak, and overwhelming chocolate backed by smoke are smooth on the finish for a delicious, drinkable beer.
