Bomber poured black with a thick and creamy tan head. Real good lacing. Aroma of coffee chocolate and roasted malts. The taste ahhhh, full mouth feel with real good roasted coffee and chocolate, toffee and cream. An excellent porter.

1/2 litre bottle courtesy of and shared with Maniac. Black with a medium tan head. Big roast malt aroma with some coffee, raisin and molases. Roast malts dominate flavor with some raisin, coffee, and earthy hops and a moderate astringency. Finish is dry with a bit of lingering bitterness. Excellent.

Bottle/500ml - Pours a very dark black/brown in color with a small tan head. Some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is coffee and chocolate... and a bit of smoke. Flavor is slightly bitter... from the hops and the very dark malts (black patent). Nice chocolate in the finish... I really like this!

Sampled in a 22oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a thin brown head on it. Very quality malts. Palate is good but a bit interesting and overall a really nice brew.

Bomber. Black with off white medium head. Aroma of roasted milk chocolate, light coffee bean, darker breads, berry fruit covered in chocolate. Taste is semi sweet chocolate into a bitter roastedness. Some darker fruit notes in flavor. Light to medium bodied with good carbonation.

Draught. Poured with very little head. Malty and some fruit traces. Pretty decent.

UPDATED: JUN 8, 2006 Dark brown body, light brown creamy head, no laces; quite big, deep and complex nose: loads of chocolate malt, cacao and some strange notes like a combination of hop and yeast; very full, bitter body, creamy/oily texture; long finish, first very warm. creamy and little bitter: cacao, malt, bitter chocolate. Lacks a bit the balance between nose and body, body is almost to powerful at least in comparison with the nose. Good (not great) beer. - - - - - - - Tasted blind at Sk8vikings amazing Porter/Stout tasting (5-4-6-3-13) - Black body, creamy small head; Quite small closed, a little metallic nose. With some brown sugar and very little dry hop; Big bubbled little creamy body, watery textured; Into quite long but very discrete watery finish, not a lot of aroma, mostly dry hop (like I could imagine hop the).

pours a jet black with a large light brown head that lasts, and great lacing. smell is of cocoa, malt, a little fruit, some coffee, and some spice. taste is of malt, cocoa, a little fresh roasted coffee, some fruit in the back, and a touch of caramel, ends on the dry side.
