Apr 2, 2009 Bottle @ jbrus. Dark color, brownish head. Aroma of coffee, spices, chocolat, cocoa. HIgh carbonation, which disturbs the taste actually. Bit off-balanced.

Apr 2, 2009 Poured a dark brown with a nice head. Very nice lacing. Aroma was roasted malts and hops, with hints of chocolate and some spice. The flavor was the same, but I really noticed a hoppy bite in the finish. I have another aging and may break out at the first sign of cold this coming fall.

Mar 31, 2009 Updated: Nov 22, 2009 Bomber from the beer locker. Knew it would cellar well but the appearance of snow reminded me to uncap this holiday gift. Poured murky, black/brown with a mid-tan, foamy, head and good, curtainy webs of lacing. The nose was initially dry, a little grain, with a slight sweetness, roasted coffee, and chocolate notes. The flavor mimicked the aroma except for the the big, bitter hop taste. A creamy mouth feel and dry finish followed. Definitely a hopped up, big Porter. Enjoyed again at Brixie’s in Brookfield, IL. on tap. Appearance +.1

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.
