Jul 1, 2008 Bomber. Pours translucent blackish brown with a lacy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, coffee. Medium-light body and carbonation. Chocolate taste, crisp and smoky (peaty?) finish.

Jun 18, 2008 Aggressive pour displayed a thin eggshell head sitting atop a thin brown beer. Not much to describe. Both the nose and flavor were unpleasantly sweet. Unfortunately, there is also a sour quality in the finish that lingers.

May 28, 2008 Appearance: Pours a dark brown body with a bubbly, thin, off-white head.
Smell: Dark malt aroma with a note of fruit syrup and a slight smokiness.
Taste: Dark maltiness with a chocolate taste and medium sweetness. Hmm. There’s an odd, tart fruitiness that’s somewhat off-putting. Finishes sweetish and questionably fruity.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Not so good; an indefensible porter.

May 24, 2008 Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a wispy-lacing tan head. Aroma of dry smoky malts with some roasty notes. Body starts lightly sweet and thinner with a hint of tartness and smoky character before a watery semi-tart light fruity finish. Needs more body and sweetness.
