UPDATED: APR 12, 2023 Shared 2022 bomber poured to a flight glass, showing a black/brown hue, with a decent layer of tan froth, and spots & strands of lacing. The nose was roasted, mocha notes with dominant cocoa & slight coffee, modest barrel qualities that included slight vanilla & coconut, and ready bourbon. Better than medium bodied, the taste was as the aroma notes, with fair carbonation, decent booze, and roasted & moderately tannic/oaky bitterness.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2021 This is a backlog rating from 2008 from a multiple bottles (22 and 12 oz.) over the years, from notes. When I had this beer it was average to below average for the style and not something I wanted to have again or I just didn't get back to my notes because of my technology at the time, work and/or family. Words to describe this beer are dark roasted malts, dark chocolate, black coffee, bourbon, oak, vanilla, solid.

UPDATED: APR 24, 2021 22 oz. bottle shared by Adam. Thanks man! 2017 vintage. Aroma is chocolate, bourbon, rye. Flavor is mild cocoa powder, spice, with really great balance. Mild warming after the sip. I bet this would have been amazing 2 years ago. Real nice.

UPDATED: APR 24, 2021 Bomber, 2017. Split 2 ways in a Teku. Not much head, has a watery chocolate appearance like it’s water with some darker food coloring added. Oreo and whiskey aroma, smells like a hint of licorice and cocoa powder. Wow, this held up really well. Lots of cocoa, it’s very sweet with a little whiskey at the finish. VERY good.
