Bottle from Bert’s Pours a slightly hazy deep reddish brown color with a smallish bubbly white head that dissipates almost instantly. Aromas of lemon and tart cherry with a bit of earth, herbal, and funky notes to it. The barrel is subtle, providing hints of vanilla and wood to mix. The flavor is a little sweeter than the aroma suggested with a moderate brown sugary flavor to it. Sweet and Sour cherry with just a hint of lemon mix with a mild earthy funk to round out the flavor. Medium body with a light level of carbonation and a sweet tart mouthfeel to it. Nice flavorful brew, but it needs a bit more time to develop a few more bubbles imho.

Hazy deep blond color, generous head. Nice fruity aroma, delicate, apricot, light spices, very light smoke. Smooth mouthfeel, highly carbonated, rather dry, funky, a bit fruity, mildly astringent.
Very interesting.

On nitro tap at Cask and Vine Pours a solid dark brown bordering on black with a huge frothy tan head that persists forever. Aromas of dark and caramelized sugars with a fair bit of dark dried fruits clove phenols and a touch of ethanol. The flavor is a bit sweet with lots of darker sugars and a prune-y fruitiness. Light earth, yeasty esters, and a touch of alcohol round out the flavor well. Medium to thick body with a moderate level of carbonation and a creamy thick velvety smooth mouthfeel. Great frigging brew right here! Alcohol is well hidden and the beer is extremely flavorful. Great job Dave.

Scopey 5K Tasting in deepest Croydonia. Thanks to Colin. Hazy pink - purple beer, small pink head! Palate is light and dry and a little crisp. Nice fruity blueberry blackcurrant does battle with sour cheesy yohgurty things. Finishes dry and crisp Skewed but not awful.

Bottle, big thanks to Colin. It pours purple with a small pink-white head. The nose is earthy, barnyard, musty, kitty litter, plum, red grape, and raspberry. The taste is crisp, tart, plum, blueberry, black currant, plum, decent acidity, cheesecake and Granny Smith apple with a dry finish. Light- medium body and fine carbonation. Nice.

Purchased a 750 ml growler from the brewery on 9 Jan 2014, enjoyed on 11 Jan 2014. Pours a deep brown with a thin tan head and minimal lacing. Flavor and aroma is a perfect match. Rich roasted malts, hints of ash, light bittering pine, ale yeast tones. Earthy malt notes. Medium body and medium carbonation. Texture has an abundant dry roast quality. Overall, I always enjoy the brews David Sakolsky creates. This porter has exceptional flavor and is something I could drink multiple glasses of. Well done.
