3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bomber into a pint glass. Pours almost black but brown when held to the light with a huge dark brown head. Aroma is big coffee with some metal and lots of dark fruits. A couple more whiffs reveal nice hop character. The flavor is sweet and sour and ends with a nice combo 1-2 of dryness from hops and roasted malts. This reminds of a good stout in many ways. Quite tasty.

A black colored beer, with a thick foamy dark beige head. The aroma of sweet chocolate, with some coffee and roasted malts. The taste of a little bitter chocolate with roasted malts and some dark fruits. The aftertaate is dry bitter with a little sweet.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
Dark chocolate and toffee nose with charred oak undertones. Very dark brown pour with a medium tan head. Dry flavor of charcoal, strongly bitter, but tastefully so. Pretty boring overall.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
It pours a dark, opaque sable with a VERY thick, if not too persistent, light brown head. The bottle I got foamed like nobody’s business, so be careful if you have this in a bottle! Aroma is rich, smoky, mocha-like with a hint of sweetness, very inviting. Flavor is like fine roast coffee with chocolate undertones, but it got a bit tinny as I got near the bottom of the bottle. Texture is smooth and fairly tingly. Satisfying.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Serving: 16.9 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Almost black with garnet highlights and a huge, creamy, light tan head. Great head retention and lacing.
Aroma: Lighter than expected nose. Roasted malt, coffee, earth, and mineral notes. A little difficult to get much else.
Taste: Sharp, upfront bitterness, roasted malt, a little caramel, mineral, nuts, and earth. Sort of there then gone except for the bitterness.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-rich mouthfeel and a medium, nutty finish.
Overall: A decent porter with a good palate, but muted aroma and flavor.
Rebuy: Worth trying but not rebuying.

Aroma of dark roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor is much the same, dark roasted malt, chocolate, a touch of coffee and some dark fruit. Malty chocolaty finish.
