Black colour with almost no head. Nice notes of chocolate, moderately sweet, it has strong bourbon character; the spirit is very evident, in the aroma and flavour.

Yellow body with white head. Light hop aroma. Hoppy taste, tangier than the usual pilsner. Hoppy finish.

Dark colour. There is a very good balance between the sourness, the fruity charactger, the gentle cardamom, and some residual sweetness.
Very goood.

Jet black brown with a small brown head. Tons of bourbon and barrel notes. So much bourbon and roast with some raisin. Heat on the throat. You have to like bourbon as this is over the top.

12 oz. bottle in trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is very, very dark brown (almost opaque black but can see light source directly behind) with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width light brown foamy head with fair retention and mild soapy lacing. Aroma is strong, rich roasted coffee and dark chocolate with bitter offset--almost ashy. Taste is bittersweet coffee and chocolate (like a chocolate covered espresso bean) favoring the bitter, ashy side of roast. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish that's a little more mellow (less bitter) than the taste. Overall, aroma and taste are strong and rich but a bit further to the bitter side than I prefer. But, well made and those liking more bitterness in their coffee beers should like this.

Bottle from Craft Beer Kings. Pours bright gold with a creamy white head. Aroma of pine/resin and mildly roasty malt. Med body. It's dryish, but rather malty. Pine/resin with moderate plus bitterness. Tasty, but old school. For me it's comparable to Sierra Nevada pale ale in some respects (malt making me go there).

12 ounce bottle. Aroma of bold chocolate and coffee. Also a hint of brownie. It’s almost like smelling a cold-brewed mocha latte. The flavor has mild chocolate with long lasting espresso beans. Slight bitterness to balance. Amazing flavor for 6% Porter! Did they cheat by just adding cold brew coffee? Probably.
