3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(650ml bottle) Purchased at The Strath in Victoria. Pours a big brown frothy head atop a black body. Vanilla, soya sauce, creamy chocolate. Good bitterness on the tongue and gritty texture, rotten apples, coffee dusting and dried fruit. A good beer; thx for the recommendation Lon.

Bomber from Malt and Vine. 6.0% ABV; 32 IBU. Pours very dark brown with a foamy 3 finger dark beige head. Aroma is a watery sort of chocolate - hints of sour over dark roast malt. Med body. A very decent non-imperialized porter. Imperialization is starting to slant my ratings towards high ABV. Inappropriate in this instance. It’s a damn good plain porter. Chocolate and dark roast malt thru into the finish.

On draft at the brewery. Nice classic roasty porter. Very fresh and drinkable. Finishes well.

UPDATED: JUL 28, 2012 Roasted malt flavors permeate this surprisingly thin porter. Weak texture but robust flavors. Coffee caramel taste. Toasted grains weak bitter end.

22 oz bottle. Brown/black with a small, spotty, light tan head. Aroma of chocolate, toast and roasted coffee. Flavor is rich, dark chocolate malt, sweet caramel and some bitter roasted malt. Medium to full body with mild carbonation and a thick, creamy mouth feel. Nice rich, robust Porter.

Pint @ Hop Vine. A decent enough porter but had it right next to a delicious stout (the name escapes me) and so it ended up paling in comparison. Standard roasty notes with a spicy mouthfeel. Pleasantly pleasant.

Bottle pours solid black with a large brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and caramel. Taste is great, toasted grains, light bitter finish, not too sweet. Very nice example of a Porter. Medium thin body, medium high carbonation.

Pours with a substantial brown head and medium carbonation. Aroma is light, roasted malt, nice. Flavor is primarily light roasted malt and slight hop bitterness. This is a fairly dry porter, that is very balanced. It’s nothing special, but it is a solid beer that is just interesting enough that I would opt for it again.

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. Brownish-black pour with a medium light tan head that recedes steadily. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of roasted malt and mild coffee. Light to medium body with a sweet roasty malt character and notes of coffee and chocolate. The finish is sweet with a toasted malt aftertaste. Decent all around.
