On nitro at Capones. Pours a black color with a caramel colored head. Aroma of caramel, roast, and vanilla, with some chocolate mixed in. A sweet caramel taste with nice roasty notes. Vanilla up front, chocolate through the finish. Really excellent on nitro.

UPDATED: MAY 16, 2012 Sample on draft at The House of 1000 Beers this beer poured a black color with a small creamy tan head that lingered and left incredible lacing. The aroma was coconut, vanilla, malted milk and light chocolate. The flavor was moderately bitter and toasty with notes of coconut, vanilla, chocolate syrup, bourbon, malted milk and raisin. There was a light boozy presence that did note distract too much. The fish was long with coconut, vanilla, cocoa and raisin lingering. Thick, smooth and creamy body. Excellent.

Draft at Capone’s. Pitch black pour. Creamy head. No nose. Taste is very chocolate milk. Silky smooth finish. Great

Fresh growler from the brewpub miles from my house not a pub hours away! Woody smoky taste with a chocolate layer to it and a roasted aftertaste. Medium dry with a chewy texture. Bit of a soda-like sour aspect from the bourbon cask underlying the pleasant elements of the beer but its a quality beer nonetheless.

Pours black with a mocha head. Aroma is roast, vanilla and dark chocolate. Taste was sweet with some bitters. Lighter bodied then expected with some stickiness.

Draft at Capone’s: Aroma of malt, light Bourbon, vanilla, and some chocolate. Poured very dark brown/ruby in color with a huge, creamy, rocky, brown head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Medium sweet and slightly bitter. Tastes of malt, chocolate, vanilla, slight Bourbon, and a hint of roasting. Medium body. Thin, then dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Malt, light Bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, slight roast finish is medium sweet, slightly bitter, and dry. Not much barrel to it.

Sampled at Lansdale Beer Fest 2012, lovely smoky notes, rich and full-bodied, a very tasty porter.

Draft at Craft Ale. Pours hazy brown with tan head and nose of earthy woody malt, some vanilla, cherry/berry notes, and some rauchy wafts. Tastes unique, with a definite rauchy malty forefront, then some berry, vanilla, and cacao notes.

On tap (nitro) at Capone’s Restaurant. Kudos for going out and getting this kind on thing.Decent enough nitro beer, big and creamy leaving a lace sheet. Sligt coffee aroma. Dark brown. Decent drinkability.

On tap at Capone’s. Poured a dark hazy brown color with an off white head. Aromas of earthiness, wood, vanilla, chocolate, and lighter bourbon. Tastes of wood, vanilla, chocolate, caramel, and lighter bourbon.
