Sampled at the DC Local Tasting a 22oz bottle pours a transparent copper amber with one ring of clumpy head. Nose is sweet, a little brown sugar, malty, fairly standard. Sweet flavor, brown sugar, a little bread. Watery finish.

Bottle. Clear maroon color. Aroma of toast and caramel. Taste is similar, biutter finish, light body.

At Chriso New Year 2011/12 tasting. Very dark brown lasting thick beige head. Huge bourbon on aroma. Vanilla. Lots of alcohol. Coconut vanilla. Its not much of a porter. Its quite soft and not offensive but too hot on the end and too much coconut.

Bottle. Pours black with brown head. Nose/taste of cocoa, roast chocolate malt and vanilla. Smooth - body on the lighter side for an imperial stout - but hides alcohol very well. Solid drinking beer.

Bottle thanks to jcwattsrugger: Poured a thick cloudy copper orange with a huge off white foam head. Aroma is a sweet fruit with sticky caramel, hangs to the nose. Taste is crisp with cloves, sweet burnt malt, and refreshing fruit.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 11/21/11

Aroma: The nose is mostly made up of floral, citrus, yeast, and grain notes
Appearance: Pours a clear golden-orange color with a foamy white head and heavy lace
Flavor: The taste is mid sweet up-front, transitioning into a later bitterness; aftertaste is quite off
Palate: The body is light, the mouthfeel is crisp and clean, and it ends with a lengthy, poor finish
Overall Impression: This one was a basic, rather unexciting, attempt at a lager. I thought the components were pretty decent overall, but that finish really damages my opinion of the beer. It just doesn't leave a good taste in your mouth, and, since it is your final impression, it doesn't leave a good feeling about the beer. Still, that is only one component of the beer, and so I will try not to let it completely affect my opinion/score.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 11/8/11

Aroma: The nose has some caramel malts, some grapefruit hops, and wood
Appearance: It pours a dark orange color with an off-white head and fairly heavy lacing
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, with a some caramel and citrus flavors, and a little bitterness
Palate: The body is fairly light, the mouthfeel is clean, and it has a somewhat dry finish to it
Overall Impression: I thought this was a pretty decent beer. It has a nice balanced to it, and it drinks decently. Not too bad at all.

Bottle thanks to John. Pours black with tan head. Nose/taste of black malt - lightly smoked. Some light chocolate in background. A little sweetness in the finish. Medium body.

Copper. Hops bite at the tongue, citrus and earthy hops. Toasted malts. Finish is rather bitter. Tasty.
