Bomber. Dark brown with a thin fizzy brown head. Good retention. Aroma of roasted malt, briny oysters, chocolate, cocoa, nuts. The taste is bitter roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and a salty finish. Thin bodied, mild lingering bitterness. Was expecting more sweet chocolate, would have provided a nice combo with the saltiness of the oysters.

Pours a hazy lemon-straw from a can. Classic saison yeastiness and effervescence. Okay beer.

Tap at brewery compared to the porter I had down the road this was. Rusting with flavor. Nose is cola and chocolate, tastes of coffee, cola, chocolate, roasted malt, touch of burnt sugar, and raisin. Fine palate.

Bottle from East Derry General Store. Aroma is dark, rich, roasted malts with chocolatey scent. Appearance is pitch black with 1/2 finger light-brown head after vigorous pour. Good retention. Taste is mix of medium malty sweet and coffee-like bitterness (which dominates second 1/2). Palate is full-bodied heavy creamy feel with mild carbonation and nice, long coffee-like bitter finish. Overall, this beer is great!
