fakepurseninja (773), Washington, USA Dec 10, 2008 Very nice looking, strong porter. Deep black with a solid tan head. Roasty malt body with a molasses sweet profile. Bitter burnt coffee bean note sand a tart dark chocolate component. A little thin and overly earthy but a decent pour. Narnad (682), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA Dec 8, 2008 Pours a dark black with a slight brown color when light shines through, thin tan head. Aroma is very sweet with toffee and caramel malts coming through. Flavor is very sweet toffee, some very light molasses and chocolate in the middle and coffee bitter bite and a little dryness on the tongue at the end. Overall a good beer with nothing detracting it all. NobleSquirrel (1100), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 8, 2008 Bomber from Sams. Pours inky black, thin dissipating head. Nose is sweet and touch tart, ash, molasses. Taste is the same, clean and rich. Minimal roastiness in the taste, though it is there. Nice even chocolatey sweetness. Creamy and smooth. Pretty nice. Underhook (162), Lincoln Park, New Jersey, USA Dec 7, 2008 Pours thickly, black, medium head, quickly dissipating. Aroma is malty. Flavor is roasted, coffee beans, some chocolate sweetness. Thick mouthfeel, creamy, good finish, a tad bit too much carbonation. Very good, worth the try. StFun (535), Indiana, USA Dec 6, 2008 I love it when I find a nice solid nonrare beer that I can enjoy. placeholder for now BustedFlat (552), Edina, Minnesota, USA Dec 5, 2008 Sampled at the Great Decatur Beer Tasting Festival in Georgia on 10/18/08.

BeerandBlues2 (3201), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Dec 4, 2008 Bottle received via trade with zathrus13. Pours black with a small, fizzy, light brown head, mostly diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt -caramel, chocolate, toasted-, light hops -perfume-, average yeast -leather- with notes of prunes and tar. Medium bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness. glkaiser (1150), Seattle, Washington, USA Dec 1, 2008 Very dark brown with medium brown head. Dark molasses and chocolate. Not overly sweet. Smooth and enjoyable.
