Really nice porter. Long, chocolate finish - that 3F hop profile you have come to know is present throughout. Not much of a nose.

Bomber purchased at the brewery poured in a snifter. Pours a dark chocolate brown with a minimal foamy tan head. The aroma is hoppier than I expected. It’s full fragrance of hops and smoke. The taste is bacon and pine hops. It’s a weird combination that doesn’t complement well to me. (I don’t like Black IPAs either.). I was expecting more malt or maple sweetness. There is a decent malt body but it’s not the feature. Well made but not my flavor.

22oz bottle, purchased at the brewery during XV. Pours a jet black color with a big tan head and some lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, pine hops. Like a black IPA. Medium body with soft carbonation. Flavor is bitter, roasty, pine hops, a little smokey, with a bitter finish that sticks around for a while. Very much like a black IPA to me, but where do you draw the line between a black IPA and a hoppy porter or stout?

Bottled 660ml (vPBF)
Dark brown color, small beige head. Toasted malty, ashy and a bit smokey aroma. Medium-bodied. Toasted malty, licorice and lots of coffee, coffee beans. Decent but maybe too much coffee.

Pitch black, malty aroma, dry bitter finish. Not a bad beer but nothing too special.

bomber. Lively black pour with thin white head that hung around. Nose is roasty with some coffee. Taste is the same with a fairly dissapointing bittnerness. No need to get another one of these.

Bottle from trade with StFun. Black pour, nice head, mild aroma of roasted grain and hint of chocolate. Subtle but nice. Taste is completely balanced of mild roasted malt, balancing hops, very subtle complexity with notes of chocolate. Refined, nothing really jumps out. A good imperial porter, but doesn’t really separate itself from the pack. Nice to have tried this one from my wants.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint. Appearance: Midnight black with thick, foamy brown head and pretty good lacing. Aroma: Pine, citrus, chocolate and molasses. Smells like a Black Ale. Taste: Tastes more like a somewhat sweet Porter. Roasted malt, molasses, chocolate and flavored coffee form the base, but it is oddly sweet. There are some pine-like and citrusy hops but they are strangely out of place. A titch of smoke. Palate: Moderate carbonation, medium body, somewhat dry finish. Overall: Kind of a Strong Porter, kind of a Black Ale. Mostly it is just a mess. Some good flavors, but not worth having again.

On tap @ Mikkeller bar. The aroma has some roast, spice, liquorice and some wine. Black coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste is sweet, has liquorice, spice/pepper, coffee, some chocolate, roast. Bit carbonated mouthfeel.

Pours a deep burnt caramel .. light sturdy foam .. . deep roasted malts, bitter chocolate, and pissed off pinecone .. . good but not great, a bit muddled .. . . dandruff problem, flakes will fly everywhere..
