COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
CB’s Double Dark is all that the name implies and more. THis is a deep chocolatey brown porter that starts out with a deep roasted aroma and flavor. This beer pours with a rich, foamy, natural head. The experience starts with a nicely roasted nose and flavor which gives way to a malty sweetness and finally to a crisp hop finish. Brewed with Pale Ale, Crystal and Chocolate Malts with Northern Brewer and Cascade Hops.

bottle... dark breen, hint of glassy amber, big light tan head, lasting no lace, the bubbles are too big...really dead nose, a touch of cream, a little coffee, a weird vegetal note, and some off chemicals, something is just off... tastes like generic cream, super thin, nothing but sweetness, not very good

Allara (148) - New Jersey, USA - MAY 13, 2011
12 oz bottle from a friend in NY. Pours dark black with a thin tan head. Nice roasted malt aroma that isn’t too overpowering. Medium body with a slightly slick/oily mouth feel characteristic of an oatmeal stout. Roasted malt notes up front that give way to a slightly dry finish. Well balanced and not overly aggressive. Overall an enjoyable, creamy well roasted porter. Overall: (B+)

[3502-20101203] Cask. Little spicy wood aroma. Black brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head and some lacing. Bandaid bitter flavour is fairly roasty. Medium-full body. Good.

Cream porter? Nah. Decent enough porter. Dark brown with toasted malt on the nose. Black coffee finish but thin for a porter especially a cream...dissapointing. Mid and back palate virtually non existent.
