The intense, roasted malt flavor is derived from two types of chocolate malt and raw cocoa nibs. Whole vanilla beans, introduced post-fermentation, adds complexity and enhances the dessert-like qualities.

Bottle. Deep brown. Thin, off-white head. Aroma is light for a porter. Taste is surprisingly strong alcohol taste.

A Bomber of Chocolate Bomber all to myself on 1st April 2019. Sat in my daughters dining room while on holiday in California. Brown bodied, beige head with lacing. Easy drinking Chocolate based Porter (just like the name might suggest). Aroma and flavour all about chocolate and vanilla malts, the hops well hidden in the bowls of the brew.

650 ml bottle, spilt 4 ways. Thank you HuskerTan for the gifted bottle! Almost clear brown color, fast dying head. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, vanilla beans. Flavor is spot on the flavor. I get a lot of caramel candy, light vanilla center, and a lasting Tootsie Roll finish. Sweet but nice.

35,5 cl bottle @ Timo A
Aroma has malty tones and chocolate – smells like a german doppelbock. Flavour has artifical chocolate, malty tones, minerals and some licorice tones. Also nuts. As said, feels rather artifical but I like it. ABV is well hidden – in fact so well that I find it hard to believe this is 8%.

Bottle. A- Bland, roasty, cocoa. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, light brown head. T- Roasty, slightly bitter, dry cocoa, leather, subtle anise. P- Medium body, slightly thin texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- This will hurt Imperial Porter being my top style. Not bad but I thought I’d get lots of vanilla, chocolate, and some sweetness. This was roasty overload. Not really a fan.

Bottle @ home. Opaque dark brown color with a dark red glare coming through when held into the light, medium to full sized beige to light brown head. Aroma is malts, cocoa, chocolate and a hint of dark grapes and raisins. Taste malts, chocolate, cocoa, a slight hint of vanilla and raisins, a slight hint of grapepeel and a decent bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation. A bit thinner texture - wise as to what I had expected. Nice though.

Bottle from Whole Foods, Santa Monica. Dark brown with a medium head. Aroma of light chocolate, malt and some "earth". Similar taste, also with some vanilla. Drinkable but nothing special.
