Welcome beer, I acquired from a recent US trip. Sour at the beginning, this porter yields tasty tart fruit. Black with a big head. Some spruce taste. Decent drinkability.

Bomber from Beer Run. Pours a dark brown color with a large creamy tan head. Fair head retention and nice lacing. Aroma of spruce, chocolate, faint berry notes. The taste is strong tart berries, mild chocolate, mild spruce. A bit of spice. Medium bodied, a little disjointed. Not great, but a nice experiment.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample at World Of Beer. Dark brown pour with a minimal beige head that dissipates steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Roast malt and coffee in the nose. Light to medium body with a roasty character and flavors of chocolate malt and subtle berry. The finish is mildly bitter with a coffee aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22oz bomber pours mahogany with a loose tan head of foam. The aroma is a little blueberry esters, a little dusty nuttiness, a mineral note and just a dash of roasted malts. The taste is similar where I get a sliver of sweet dark fruity esters mixing with a mildly tart note, some nuttiness and then roasted malts. Into the finish some highly roasted malts join in too. There seems to be an off flavor too that’s sort of tartness or maybe a light astringency that is a tad off putting. OK, the label states Spruce Tips, maybe that’s what’s going on.
