Bomber from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is mildly apple/cinnamon with a hint of nutmeg. Med body or so. Flavor is very apple/cinnamon/nutmeg with some chocolate aspects. Pleasant, but not quite as “porter” as expected. Fairly dry; some earthy, bitter chocolate. It’s like shooting for Mars and missing by a slight amount. Drinkable, but ????????

On tap. Pour black with short tan head. Aromas of sour black coffee, roasted malts, coconut and light wordy bourbon. Flavors follow same with dark sugary fruit, graham cracker, nuts and an emphasis on oaky bourbon. Still a nice balance. Tasty and complex.

Thinnish dark brown. Soft, touch of sugar. Thin body too.Nothing foreign about it. Also, past its prime, so maybe not the best time to make that assessment.

Rich chewy malts, lots of alcohol, soft fruits, light booziness. I'm not sure the age that's been put on it has done either positive or negative - would like more heat taken off.

Black color with large head. Dark malts aroma with dark fruits. Too much alchohol, thin body, earthy malts.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with bourbon barrels, followed by subdued roasted malt. Flavour is less barrel-heavy, with moderate bourbon character, a touch of smoke, and medium roasted malt. This has held up very well. Really nicely balanced and a lovely dipper. Excellent.
