Dark brown in colour, light-brown coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is lightly smoky, some sweetness, some roast. The flavour is sweet, mildly roasty, a bit musty, gingerbread. Lightly chalky mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a very light roast and lightly bitter. Weird for sure, the lack of a larger body doesn’t help. Too thin.

Jul 17, 2008 Bomber from Bottleworks; Nose of chocolate, caramel, and light vanilla; almost blocks sunlight but appears very dark cherry red with a nice tan, glass lacing head; flavor is chocolate, pepperiness, lightly bitter, and a toffee note; finish light hop bitterness. Excellent plain jane, non barrel aged porter; wish I could get this all the time!

Jul 9, 2008 Very dark chestnut brown, opaque really. Decent brown bubbly head. Chocolate and rich roast aroma. Flvour of chocolate stands out, generous amounts of roast malt, some coffee and a chalky/clay quality. Slightly heavy, smooth velvety mouthfeel. Excellent.
