Bottle. Hazy deep golden amber color, small tan head, solid but delicate lacing. Aroma issweet caramel and light spice. Taste is a bit of an off mix of vanilla, light spice, citrus, caramel. Decent enough.

Rich, strong dark espresso nose. Dark brown, thin yellow head. Tangy, sweet coffee and oak flavor. Medium body, lasting oak finish. No chocolate discernible but the tanginess must be coming from the chocolate. Bourbon not noticeable either, which is good for me. Very nicely crafted.

750 mL bottle from Whole Foods Market. Pours a hazy dark red-orange color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of spice, cherries and stone fruits. The taste is herbal and nutty notes, plums, raisins and a spicy finish. Medium bodied with the faintest bit of heat. Decent.

Brown sugar, raisin, date nose. Clear brown, thick tan head. Chocolate, raisin, and malt flavor. Alcohol evident. Rather boring.

Bottle thanks to ksurkin: Poured a carbonated orange to light copper with a huge two finger off white head. Nice little hops aroma. Taste is strong grass with fruit attributes, very oak wood characteristic too.

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 11/21/12
Aroma: The nose is heavy bourbon/oak along with some dark malts
Appearance: It pours a hazed medium brown color with some light lace
Flavor: This one is dominated by the boozy flavor with some light underlying malts
Palate: The body is medium-full, with a soft carbonation, and a fairly hot finish
Overall Impression: Booze overpower a bit, and takes away from the enjoyment. Lacks the balance of a great barrel aged beer. Not bad, but not a favorite for me.

Aroma: the nose has lots of roasted malts, some dark chocolate, and caramel as well
Appearance: This beer has a dark brown pour with a small head and basically no lace
Flavor: The flavor is pretty toasty as well, it is a little sweet, and has a mild bitterness
Palate: This one has a smooth feel, medium bodied, and it finishes soft and creamy
Overall Impression: Really solid example of a porter. It seemed to be rather popular amongst our group, and I was no exception, I really enjoyed it.

Aroma: The nose of this one is bourbon, spice, and some citrus hops
Appearance: It pours a hazy orange color with a medium white head and lace
Flavor: The taste is quite an interesting mix of bourbon, Belgian flavors, and citrusy hops
Palate: This one has a medium body, with some light heat, and a fairly soft carbonation
Overall Impression: This one is a nice mix of fruity and bourbony flavors, with a nice Belgian yeast presence too. The whole combination works well together and made for one of my favorite beers of the visit to Blue Mountain.

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 11/21/12
Aroma: The nose has some caramel, some citrus, a little pine, and a little grain
Appearance: This one pours a caramel color with a white head and lots of lace on the glass
Flavor: The taste of this one is a little sweet, and it has a medium hop bitterness to it
Palate: It has a fairly clean feel to it, with a medium body, average carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: I’m surprised I haven’t rated this one before, as this is probably the Blue Mountain beer I have seen the most in stores and bars, and I am pretty sure I’ve tried it before. Anyway, this is a very solid APA.

Flavor: This one has a clean malt flavor, some light sweetness, and a light bitterness
Palate: This one has a light-mid body, with a nice, clean feel and an average carbonation
