Bottle @ DRBM. A black colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma of coffee, dark fruits some port with a little smoke. The taste of coffe, dark fruits dry, bitter. The aftertaste of bitter coffee and dry.

22 oz bottle. Dark brown pour with a thick, light tan head. Aroma of milk chocolate, roasted coffee and very faint smoke. Flavor is rich, roasty malt, some bitter coffee and a bit of acidic smoke. Medium to full body with average carbonation and a long, dry finish. This is a nice porter, the smoked character is very light but it’s there.

Pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Flavor is roasted malt with hints of chocolate, coffee, caramel, toffee, and smokey notes. Medium body with medium carbonation. Very good brew.

650mL bomber bottle poured deep black in color with a modest brown head and some fine lacing. Aromas of dark roasted malts and smoke with a hint of chocolate and coffee. Taste is roasted malty sweetness with a hint of smoke and coffee bitterness. This is a solid beer from start to finish. HIghly recommended.

Port, madera tones and raisin sweetness. Some spices, too. Very little smoke. Black body and small green head. Thin. Too thin, maybe. (DRbM 2011)

Bottle @ drbm. Aroma is smoky baltic roast, chocolate and earth. Flavour is roasty, earthy, slight smoke. Nice.

Bottle at UDRBM. Black pour, thin off-white head. Aroma is coffee, ash, tobacco, burnt malts. Flavor is dry, black, and quite bitter burnt malts. No smoke?

Aroma includes roasted coffee, and dark chocolate. Black in color, with nice frothy head. On the palate, you can pick up a dominant coffee, and chocolate flavor, yet it had a nice creamy finish. One of my favorites.
