12 oz can generously given to me by beastiefan2k. The pour is a deep, hazed brown, with a full 3 inch khaki head. The head falls slowly. The aroma is light ash roast, a bit of mineral, and malt sweetness. The taste is mineral roast, dark chocolate, pine hop, and finishes with dry bitter sweet chocolate. The pine hop becomes more pronounced as the beer warms. The palate is medium to light bodied, low carbonation, and the mineral dry roast finish. Nice porter, great name, thanks for sharing Eugene.

Sample at the Studio 35 Barrel Aged Beer / Slap Shot screening on 02/10/2013. The beer is a very dark brown color with a medium tan head that diminishes steadily. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of bourbon, dark chocolate and vanilla. Full-bodied with an oaky bourbon character and notes of chocolate malt and vanilla. The finish is boozy with a chocolate/vanilla twist aftertaste. Solid all around.

12 oz can from De Bierkoning @ home (says 6.8% ABV). Color is as good as black. Beige head, quickly receding to a thin layer. Aroma’s: roasted malts, ground coffee, chocolate, with fruit retronasal. Flavor is roasted, lightly sweet, fruity. Carbonation is a bit low which give this a bit of a thin mouthfeel. Short finish, with just a little dryness, roast & chocolate.

If you wannah a revolution well you know, you don’t want to save the world, heheh. This Ipa, from a can is right on style. Not cloudy yellow, rather thick in appearance. Smell is perfume pine. Taste is bitter nasty nellie, roto tiller down the back of my throat. Pine tar, smells like pine tar too. Spruce meories passing thru my head as I chew on negatively charged green grapefruit rinds. Some co2 almost makes this drinkable. Finish is long BS bitter stuff. My lager lover taste buds have run fer the hills, the place where the McCoys live.
