Bottle split at RB Best Encomium share, Santa Rosa, 30/01/16 - Many Thanks ! Light black with a decent tan swirl. Nose is toffee, spice, oxidised notes, light roast. Taste comprises dark fruit rinds, spice, soy sauce, toffee, light cocoa, brown bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Has lasted fairly well for a 5% aged porter.

From Jul 2006
Poured from 12oz bottle a dark brown with a huge tanish head of foam that shrunk over a few minutes but stayed as long as the beer was in my glass.
The smell is really sweet...molasses dominates my nose.
The taste is black licorice and molasses to the nth degree and I'm *not* a fan of black licorice. I mean, I can taste some sweetness from the malt but that's way overpowered by the 2 flavours I mentioned. Not my kind of Porter at all and I'm wondering right now if I'll be able to finish the contents in my glass.
Bottom line: I'm glad Sam Adams is constantly experimenting with new beers and when you do that, there's bound to be some misses. I'll take *that* chance as long as SA wants to. ;^)

[1/30/16] Bottle sample at the Encomium bottle share, after RateBeer Best awards ceremony at Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel in Santa Rosa. Thanks everyone who shared bottles! Dark brown. Oxidized, rotten fruity aroma, caramel, nuts. Sweet.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is dark fruit and cardboard. Very oxidized, wood, raisin, nah.

BBE Oct 06. Opaque dark brown beer. Crisp palate. Lots of bitter toffee and molasses and unsweet licorice. Finishes crisp with some carbonated bite and more unsweet licorice. Another unusual beer in the Patriot collection. Very drinkable and rich.

Bottle, 10 months past BB date. Very phenolic aroma. Very dark brown colour with a red shine. Very small light brown head. The flavour is also very phenolic and has lots of raw liquorice. Late liquorice aftertaste. I seem to be alone in tasting the phenol, but it is nevertheless horrible to me.

Bottled. Dark brown, rich h ead. Aroma of cocoa and licoirce. Sweet with burnt malt and plenty of salty licorice. Boldly malty with some molasses. Salty licorice domiante the finish. A bit brash, but interesting.

12 fl oz. Pours deep brown with light orange/red hue and a light brown head. Aroma is slight roasted and with a dried fruity note. Liqourice flavoured, dry with bitterhops breaking the liqourice heavy flavour. Dry finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Pours a slightly hazy light brown with an orange hue and a dense, creamy, beige head. Distinct aroma of roasted malt and licorice. Medium body with burned and slightly ashy malt notes and again these very distinct licorice flavours - almost salty - before a fairly bitter finish. 180807
