Mar 31, 2009 Bottled @ Jbrus’. Aroma is herbal/vegetable/spive like with coffe and chocolate. Black coloured beer with a beige head. The taste is sweet, has coffee, chocolate, some roast. Carbonated. Medium bodied. Nothing special.

Mar 31, 2009 Bomber from the beer locker. Knew it would cellar well but the appearance of snow reminded me to uncap this holiday gift. Poured black/brown with a mid-tan, foamy, modest head and good lacing. The nose was initially dry, with a slight sweetness, and roasted, chocolate, and coffee notes. The flavor mimicked the aroma except for the the big, bitter hop taste that was previewed as dryness. Definitely a hopped up, big Porter.

Mar 30, 2009 Bottle@Home. Aroma of veggies, herbs, chocolate and coffee. Opaque colour, beige head, good lace. Veggies, coffee and bitterness. Straightforward and a bit off-balance. Not bad, but nothing special.

Mar 30, 2009 Bottle, shared @ jbrus’s place. Chocolate, cacao and licorice in the aroma. Spicy flavor (nutmeg, cardemom). Malty sweetish with coffee and ’Koetjesrepen’ (cheap Dutch chocolate for children without cacao). Spicy in the finish.

Mar 30, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours the darkest brown known to man with a nice 2 finger beige head that left some spotty lacing. Aromas of toffee, chocolate. Taste was much of the same while the finish was very smooth and bloody delightful! (British accent)

Mar 30, 2009 Tasting session at jbrus. Bottled. Opaque black, thick brown head. Very malty nose, chocolate. Highly carbonated, coffee in flavour. Bitter finish. Lacking some complexity imho.

Mar 23, 2009 Granted I’m not much of a porter guy, but I expected more from a FFF release. It looks great....like bpitch black tar in the glass, but the aroma and taste is a little off. It is powerful and thick, but I cannot say I really liked the flavor.
