Bottle. Pours deep mahogany, medium tan head, dissipates quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is tart, fecal, funky, infected. Flavor is medium tart, roasted malts and fecal hints, cardboard. Not as bad as I feared from the smell, but pretty unfortunate. Watery texture, light body.

22oz bomber pours a nice and dark darkness with a dark tan head of foam. The mild aroma is mostly dark roasted malts and a sense of malt balls. The taste is similar where a thin body offers up modest notes of dark roasted malts and then some burnt malts and a light dash of chocolate as it heads into the finish.

Bottle pours dark brown, thin light brown head. Aroma is cocoa and roasted malts. Flavor follows suit but is fruity with dark cherry notes. Cocoa is bitter and noticeable in the finish.

Bomber. Pours a dark brown with almost no head at all. Aromas are OK... a bit of cocoa, some coffee... Flavor is weak porter with weak chocolate. Nothing bad or offensive, but just not very assertive.

Bottle thanks to cavie. I have seen this so many times without actually picking it up. Pours with a fading tan head and a brown body. Aroma is vinous, with grain, chocolate and dark fruit. Taste is vinous, wet leaves/compost, chocolate, cocoa beans, and badness. Light bubbles and dry. Barely drinkable.

Very nice friendly very dark american lager pour. Mild and well mannered aroma. Roasty wood backgroujnd on taste buds. Sharp tingly sizzling fiss on the palate. Almost comes across like a sour porter, very nice, I like. A little acidic and quite interesting. Taste is pretty good for this redneck. I think i’m psychotic, but is it possible to have a sour porter? I detect many sour attributes in here. Very nifty, did I say i like? Great finish, this bomber dissapeared like a 12 oz. Big thenks to cquiroga for a chance to taste thios brew. Very good tasting experience!

Bottled. A deep red beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt and caramel, as well as lighter notes of milkchocolate. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of straw to start off, but then notes of milkchocolate comes along, as well as some caramel sauce. The finish is slightly bitter, and the alcohol leaves a slight burn on the tongue.

Draft at Yard House, San Diego. Deep chocolate aroma with some burnt malt. Near opaque black/brown color with a creamy tan head. Medium bodied; creamy carbonation (could be nitro, the tap was on the other side of the island). Then things went weird. Seemed to be vanilla cherry chocolate. It was not a bad thing, but whatever it was overpowered the chocolate and the malt. Very smooth. The dark malt only came into its own in the finish. Very unusual and interesting. Quite an experience.

Pour is a dark black with a average tan head. Aroma has it rosted qualities but not much in the way of chocolate. Flavor is super sour. Blech! Some light roastyness and chocolate show up after the swallow. Tame the sourness and maybe more of the chocolate would come out to make this one to look for but this is a pass right now.
