22 oz bottle. Pours a deep oily black ccolour with a thin beige head; there is an intense aroma of chocolate malt with hints of tar and purple fruit; tasting gives a mouth full of rich malts, with an oily texture and a trace of petrol, but nevertheless very smooth; leading to a dry and warming finish. An excellent porter.

Canned vegetables and anise aroma. Hazy yellow, thin white head. Orange peel, coriander, and lemon flavor, mild DMS. Medium bodied. Smells pretty bad, but the DMS is not as noticeable on the palate. Not as light as most witbiers I’ve had. Very flavorful, slightly infected.

750ml bottle at the DC local tasting. Pours a slightly hazy, bright yellow with a cloudy white head. Buttery aroma, light oak, chardonnay grapes, white pepper, spicy, someone at the tasting mentioned curry, light hay, light barnyard. Flavor is tart but nice, fruity, lemons, hay, grass, lightly funky, light candy. Almost made me think mimosa. Finish is dry.

Bottle courtesy of argo0, our generous host for April’s DC local tasting - thank you sir! Appearance is cloudy golden, like a bladder infection, but sort of in a good way. Aroma is grapefruit and bubblegum. Taste is slightly sour citrus. Good stuff.

Very dark brown. Dark sugars, molasses, cocoa, deep ripened fruits, and roasted malts in the aroma. Thin mouth feel. Wonderful sour malts, chocolate, roasted barley, light smoke, some deep fruit in the flavor. Really great porter.
