Aug 5, 2009 On tap at Toronado. This black beer poured with a thin beige head and an oak aromma. There is a carbonated slightly sour smoked malt flavor with a warm alcohol trail. This is a nice version of a porter which is very well-balanced.

Jul 16, 2009 Draught at the brewery during RBSG09. They said this was a blend of their porter aged in barrels, and a stronger beer that made it come out to 10%abv. Black with a beige head. Chocolate, caramel, oak, and coffee aroma. The flavor is chocolate and caramel with light bourbon and oak. Light in the mouth for its size, but I like that. Pretty good balance of bourbon and darker chocolate flavors.
