Skyview (4739) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - JUL 4, 2008
Received a 22-oz bombe via trade with 5000. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a fizzy tan head that slowly dissipates toa fine film and tan ring. Aroma of roasted dark malt, some chocolate, roasted nuts, and some toasted dark leaves. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of toasted dark malt, some buitter and flowery hops. Finish is semi-dry, a little metallic with some chocolate/coffee aftertaste.

Capa (1544) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 20, 2008
Deep brown with a dark tan head. Nice aroma of roasted malts, slightly sweet, buttery, oak, and slightly bitter. Flavor is lightly chocolate, sweet malts, come coffee, kinda sour, earth tones. Finish is a bit metallic and sour. Body is a bit thin with plenty of carbonation. Better than the percentile says I think, but could use some improvement.

ManvsCity (167) - Redmond, Washington, USA - MAY 24, 2008
Twenty-two oz bottle. Overly fizzy with a thick brown head that fades quickly. Rich aroma of oak and walnuts. Body nearly black. Tastes of spent coffee grounds, old burnt athletic socks and over ripe banana peels. Pours down the drain with few tell tale bubbles. Please let this bottle be the exception.

boFNjackson (2705) - Portland, Oregon, USA - APR 26, 2008
Bomber bottle... Poured black with a brown head. Aroma of leafy malt and subtle chocolate characters. Smooth and acidic palate. Flavors of licorice and chocolate, roasted malt. Very robust and tart and a satisfying bitterness for a porter.

DuffMan (4242) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - APR 24, 2008
Dark brown, nearly black really, with moderate carbonation generating a surprisingly lively head. Lots of chocolate in the aroma. Medium bodied, chocolate and clay/earthy tones, slightly acidic finish, almost tart. I actually quite liked this, and found it is similar to the London-style old porters.

biz82 (1328) - austin, Texas, USA - APR 9, 2008
Black pour, big brown temporary head. Milk chocolate aroma with a hint of sourness. Thin and sour in flavor with dusty cocoa. Little in the way of hops. I think this bottle has turned.
