bomber. darker then most holiday brews. I guess there’s a hint of spice to call it a holiday ale but mostly just tastes like an average porter.

Black in color with a creamy, frothy, tan head. Chocolate malts and a nutty aroma. Chocolate,coffee and a hint of spice are in the taste. Slick texture with light carbonation. Medium-bodied beer with an abrupt finish. This beer was much better than I expected.

The malts in this porter resemble a slightly more burnt version of Guinness Stout. Smooth, very dark and light carbonation

Aroma: fruity hops, hint of roasted/chocolate malt

I did not find anything wrong with this beer, but there was not any reason to go back for more.

Pours dark with an almost nonexistent aroma. Initial taste is roasty malt, but it’s fairly subtle. Finish is dry. It’s just too uninteresting for my palate. I would not buy this one again.

Smells of pine and dark chocolate, oh yeah! Dark brown with a light-brown head. Medium body with a short-lived carbonation bite. Yowza! Flavor is chocolate, light roast, pine, leaf, a hint of nutmeg spice. Good.
