Phillipe, nice chap from Luxemborg that just mover here shared this on the balcony with me. The brewers dark colour indication is in fact accurate. Some chocolate, barrel aging and really really dark carmel, with some really old dried fruits that have been saturated in booze for a long time. Thick and rich, but nice to drink and a little bit warming. A good beer for the blustery spring day it was drank on. Thick and rich repeated, but really focused in its flavours, nothing overly choclately or roasty or fruity, just mostly thickly malted grain and wood.

I've had this a couple times now and am finally getting around to reviewing. Caged and corked 375 ml bottle pops with little vigor and pours deep black with faint carbonation. The beers biggest flaw are its rather tepid and thin looking appearance that Cary over to mouthfeel. It is well carbonated but thin - I expected more body for a brew approaching almost 13 percent. However, the aromas are downright joyous. Loads of vanilla topple a strong presence of American oak that is wonderfully pleasant. Flavors of bitter chocolate, earthy oak, and bourbon are strong throughout and the bourbon is heavy at cellar temperature. This is a great beer with a few flaws, but i would gladly sip this again, and regularly.

Holy hell, it smells like heaven...heaven and booze, probably more booze. The flavor is an explosion that reminds me of founders breakfast stout with caramel and awesome. Strong alcohol presence, very warm as it goes down. It poured like a coke but after that it was all amazing...even better as it warmed up.

A heavy handed ale, strong and rich from the start. A hearty dose of lush malts ranging from bran cereal to nutty bread along with some chocolate and coffee influences. A wonderful vinous fruity dimension is weaved throughout creating a great complexity of complimenting flavors. The barrel aging smooths out this high quality offering. Amazing.

Bottled. Deep quite much black colour, not much, but slight brown head. Aroma is alcohol, raisins, some vanilla, wood, dark fruits, Quite port/madeira wine like notes as well. Flavour is raisins, toffee, brutal plum, thick coffee, mild chocolate and vanilla. Totally brutal in flavour. Probably beats many things I’ve had for the flavour... This is heading for the top...

THis was a huge miss...........for a beer described to be one of theior bigger sellers, I'm surprised at the small number of reviews. Another beer I did not care much for. A nice dark brown pour, small head started it off. It smelled of alcohol with some sweet malty notes backing it up. The taste was not as sweet as the flavor however, nor was it as complex as I would have liked.

March Madness tasting -

Aroma: Just amazingly intense, yet smooth and alluring at the same time. This is how a beer can cross all kinds of barriers, and still be stellar. Huge notes of maple, oak, bourbon, chocolate malt balls, and roasted coffe. I could smell this for days.

Appearance: Ink black, thick consistency...looks like the gravity still clocks in at a hefty 1.150! Head was small but creamy, light brown in color, spotty bubbles, drippy lacing.

Taste: Oh man, I "hated" having to share this 5 ways but you know...it’s worth it. Bourbon-y goodness, molasses, dark chocolate, black licorice, oak, brown sugar, figs, Almond-Joy...all super-smooth and extremely supple. Nothing clonks you over the head but everything is assertive as all get-out. Might be the best thing to come out of Port Brewing that I’ve had.

Draft, Toronado. I really love this beer. I’ve had it three times now and have enjoyed it more with every taste. This time, I got a glass to settle my stomach from a night of sours at Toronado’s RR -tion night (a 16 oz pour for $6 - bless that bar). This beer pulls off thick and rich better than any other beer that I’ve tried. The bourbon note is big and strong, but it doesn’t get in the way of the underlying stout. In fact, I find the oaky bourbon flavor balances the beer quite nicely. The beer is rich with coffee, cocoa, prunes and brown sugar, yet it’s not sticky or cloying. It’s definitely a slow sipper. The mouthfeel is velvety smooth. Fantastic.
