Bomber into a pint glass. Pours dark with a big dark brown head. The aroma is all coffee with a touch of cream. The flavor is weak church coffee with barely, BARELY a touch of chocolate and a dash of sour. Kinda disappointed with this one.

The chocolate is subtle here, which is fine with me, and there’s some bitterness, though it’s a little thin.

Almost a black pour. No real head. Aroma of coffee and cocoa. Flavor is lightly roasted with chocolate covered coffee bean.

Bottle: Drank with ramenen. Starts off great but as many organic products ends up weak, flat and bland. Food Pairing: Dessert.

Thanks to ghawener. Great appearance and aroma. Light bodied for a stout, great initial mouth feel with distinct chocolate flavors. However, ending is flat only the bittirness of the hops is present.

Dry and bitter. Fully fermented but something un-fermented remains. Not really any chocolate taste, more like coco nibs but more like walnuts, more like the membrane that covers the walnut after you take the shell off. Not really a good thing to be compared to but there you go. Not bad, not great, and not chocolate.

Richly smoked, bacony (probably picked up from the added bison), some milk chocolate. Dark brown, tiny head. Little oily, cocoa powder finish.

Brown with nice head. Smells rosted with hint of lovely chocolate. Taste is rich and pretty good. Enjoyed this one.
