Bomber. Pours a nice reddish black with a sizeable tan head. The aroma is slightly chocolatey with a milky sort of sweetness and some fruity tones. The flavor is mildly roasty with some toasted almonds and fruit peels. It gets a slight ashy quality toward the finish and peters out quickly. Decent.

Black colour with a frothy tan head. Roasted malty aroma with notes of coffee and dried dark fruit, smells old and dusty. Light roasted malty flavor with fruity notes. Clearly to old.

Bottle. Ratebeer Christmas in Oshawa, December 2007. Black body with a small tan head (3+). Odd vegetal, raw pumpkin notes in the aroma, malt. Light tangy character to the roast malt flavour. Palate is thin for the style. Dull, did not particularly care for this one. 6/4/6/2/12

Pours a nice black with little to no head. Strong chocolate and dark malt aroma. Flavour is molasses and dark fruit tones with some minor syrupy alc and light sourness to the finish. a nice porter.

Dark roasty aromas, slightly smokey, chocolate, very rich aroma. Pours dark brown with a very think tan head, that lasts quite awhile. Rich dark flavors, dark fruits, molasses, thick mouthfeel, coffee, chocolate with some vanilla in the flavor.

Aroma of dark roasted malt with hints of chocolate and smoke. Opaque black/brown color with a vigorous and substantial tan head. Near full bodied with coarsely creamy carbonation. The flavor is dark toasted malt and has fruit over chocolate roast malt. Seems to be floral hop and a bit of smoke. Almost crisp! The finish is lightly sweet with some floral hop to balance. All the while toasted malt lurks in the background. It’s not all that simple a drink. Very good.
