750 ml bottle 2006 vintage corked and caged, from a trade with hogtownharry. pours pitch black with a nice tan head. aromas are out of this world. mellow chocolate, chared oak barrel with sweet malts. this brew has the most complex aromas ive ever had. every waff shows a new level of goodness. flavours are equally impressive. beautiful sweet malts with chocolate and caramel. some bitterness kicks in to level it all out and then you get the smoke. oh man this is insanely good stuff! ill be sipping and savouring this one all night. oh my god i want more of this. its stupid good!

Jul 4, 2008 Pours an almost opaque black with a big, tan head. Aroma is chocolate and smoked meats, campfire. Tastes kind of like bacon, which is awesome, and chocolate, with a slight alcohol burn. There’s also some caramel and tobacco. Mouthfeel is smooth, and thick for a porter. A little bit of hops in an otherwise long finish, and overall an awesome ale. If you see this, you should get this.

Jun 25, 2008 Pours near black with a thin creamy beige head. Smokey bacon aroma with some dark malts and a little bit of funky fridge aroma. Amazing flavor, smoke followed by chocolate... fantastic... then bacon and dark chocolate in perfect balance, some wood and residual sugars. Silky smooth carbonation, perfectly creamy, slight syrup, medium full body. More please.

Jun 25, 2008 750ml bottle from 2006. Pours a deep brown, but let’s a little light through when in the glass. Small head. Aroma was very smoky on top of a roasted malt/chocolate porter base. Smoke flavor was more ’wood’ s than ’meat’.

Jun 10, 2008 Thanks to 17thfkloor for sharing this one. Dark black pour with thin off white head. Aroma is bacon and chocolate all the way. Flavor is much the same, smooth roasty malts, bitter chocolate, and a nice big bacon flavor all blend well. Alcohol is well hidden. Definately would drink this one again.
