Jul 30, 2007 Very dark brown-black with a rich dark brown head that has good lasting power. Nice even lacing.
Aroma was mainly the strong hop componant with some medium roasted and bittersweet chocolate notes.
Flavors were rich chocolate and some coffee. Hoppy here as well.
Nice smooth and soft carbonation level. Very interesting twist on the style.

Jul 27, 2007 Poured black with big brown head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Smelled soooo good. Big coffee flavor with chocolate hints throughout. Kind of a hop bitterness in the finish. Very smooth and complex.

Jul 13, 2007 Thick brown head atop a darker than dark brown pour. Roasted coffee all over the nosw. Like a shot of espresso up front that talils off to a nice rich chocolate middle. Just a kiss of hops to make you come back for more! Thanks to AllAboutStout for pour.

Jul 11, 2007 22oz bomber via trade with someone a long time ago, thank you mystery man. Shared with my pal Ethan. Pours black with a 3 finger light brown head that is receding in a strange way that elicits a little mound in the middle of the head, I haven’t seen this happen very often. The nose has a coffee punch, a bit of chocolate and a malty roastiness. The taste is really big, but at the same time fleeting. Lots of malt, chocolate, and coffee flavors with some hops that are present but not very strongly detectable. Overall very good, but has the general problem I’ve had with porters lately that the taste is inviting but the mouthfeel doesn’t follow through. Can’t complain about the sytle too much though. Good Work FFF.

Jul 2, 2007 2006 Bottle. Pours a deep lack body with nice head. Aroma is of cocoa-chocolate, light coffee, sweet malt, and some faded hops. Flavor is lightly sugared with roasted malt, light chocolate, and some subtle hops. A light coffee and cream taste. This is a good Porter, very smooth. This may be better consumed fresh.

Jun 27, 2007 Bomber; Nose of chocolate, coffee, , and toasted rye bread; very dark brown with a huge long lasting tan head; flavor of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and whole grains. Has a medium body and a prickly mouthfeel on the tongue and little hop bitterness in the finish.

Jun 19, 2007 Updated: Jun 20, 2007Bomber, courtesy of Adrian910ss (thanks!), pours a very dark brown/black with an enormous foamy head and good lacing. Aroma of dark roast malts, chocolate, light espresso, and some nuttiness. Taste is heavy on the roasted malts, light chocolate and some mild espresso; slight hoppiness. Palate is predictably a bit overcarbonated based on the pour, which is distracting, lighter mouthfeel, medium body. A nice porter, but there’s better out there.

Jun 16, 2007 So I happened across a bottle of this and figured I better
pick it up considering it’s 3 Floyd’s and I love porter and I
forgot to purchase one in the "holiday" season.
Pours a dark burnt brown with an enourmous fizzy off tan head
with significant lacing. Main smells of choclate and oats with
a little vanilla lingering way back in the background.
Very smooth porter with good roasted choclate malt, very oaty
and grainy mouthfeel but not necessarily in a off way. I don’t
know this beer has left me a tad dissapointed. Not a bad brew
at all but for the price many other beers are around to be
taken. This beer lacks in complexity and mouthfeel. Still not
bad
